1. Brace is initially configured to fit the patient’s right shoulder. To configure for the left shoulder, release both buckles at the forearm cuff. Rotate the sling and shoulder strap 180 degrees and reattach both buckles
NOTE: Ensure the front shoulder strap is not twisted before reattaching the buckles
2. Release the front buckle clasp on the shoulder strap where the strap attaches to forearm cuff on sling
3. Remove the thumb and forearm straps to completely open the sling
4. Place affected arm in sling so it rests comfortably in the fold of the sling. Ensure patient’s elbow is seated as far back in the fold pocket of the sling as possible. The sling should extend to the first joint of the pinky finger
NOTE: Ensure all open wounds are covered before applying device
5. Sling length can be adjusted by removing the forearm cuff and securing in desired position. Note: Attach forearm cuff towards elbow pocket to make sling shorter and away from elbow pocket to make longer
6. Reattach the front buckle on the shoulder strap to the receiving buckle attachment located on the forearm cuff of the sling. Reattach the forearm and thumb straps on sling. Note: If desired, rest thumb on adjustable thumb strap for additional comfort
7. Shoulder strap length can be adjusted at both ends of the strap. To adjust the front of the shoulder strap, remove Y-tab, trim strap to desired length and reapply Y-tab. To adjust the back of the shoulder strap, simple release hook strap and reattach at desired length
NOTE: Shoulder pad should be positioned evenly over non-affected shoulder for comfort
8. Align the foam block at waistline on patient’s affected side. Attach arm sling to the foam block by securing hook and loop portions together
9. Detach the buckle at end of the foam block. Place waist strap around patient’s waist and fasten buckle. To adjust strap length, pull the waist strap for a secure fit. Attach Y-tab hook end back onto strap
Note: If strap is too long, remove Y-tab and trim strap to desired length. The position of the foam block may be adjusted by sliding the block forward or backward along the waistline to achieve the desired external or internal rotation. If the foam block can be pushed downward with pressure, the waist strap should be tightened. Stress ball included to promote proper circulation and encourage exercise.
