Warnings and Precautions

Questions and Answers
Common questions about the Pouch Arm Sling. For anything specific to your own condition, speak to a qualified healthcare professional.
How do I choose the right size?
The forearm should rest fully inside the pouch with the elbow supported and the hand visible. Adjust the shoulder strap until the forearm is comfortably positioned. Available sizes: S, M, L, XL. The catalogue provides size ranges but does not identify the anatomical measurement point. Confirm the sizing method with the manufacturer before clinical fitting. Check the size table on this page against your own measurement before ordering.
How do I put it on and adjust it?
Put it in position first, then close it, using the adjustable shoulder strap with length slider, working from the middle outwards so the pressure stays even. The product is partially adjustable. It should feel snug and evenly supported, never painful, and should not leave deep marks on the skin. Loosen or reposition it if it does.
Will it restrict my movement?
Supports the arm in a resting position while leaving the fingers available for movement and circulation checks. It is designed for moderate support. It should feel secure without pinching, sliding, or cutting off circulation.
How should the arm sit in the sling?
The forearm should rest fully supported with the elbow bent and the hand no lower than the elbow. Adjust the strap so the weight is carried across the shoulder and back, not on the neck.
How do I wash and care for it?
Fasten all closures before washing. Follow the care label supplied with the product. Unless the label states otherwise, hand wash gently in lukewarm water with mild detergent and air dry flat away from direct heat. Do not bleach, wring, tumble dry, or iron.
When should I stop using it and seek advice?
Use the sling according to clinical advice and avoid prolonged use without review, as unnecessary immobilization may contribute to stiffness. Adjust it so the hand is supported without pressure on the neck. Seek prompt advice if fingers become cold, blue or white, swollen, numb, painful, or difficult to move.
