The Arm/Hand Elevation Sling is used to hold the left or right hand on or above the level of the heart to help reduce swelling and minimise pain.
The Arm/Hand Elevation Sling is designed to be used after a hand or arm operation. The hand section is designed to give space for a swollen or bandaged hand, or for exercising the fingers.
Fitting:
- Thread the padded velour strap through the plastic D-Ring at the elbow end of the Sling with the Hook Tape tab on the outside.
- Place the arm in the Sling – make sure the elbow is fully back in the Sling.
- Take the strap across the back and over the opposite shoulder.
- Thread the strap through the two plastic D-Rings, starting from the inside D-Ring closest to the chest, to the D-Ring on the outside of the Sling.
- Adjust to size so that the hand is on or above the heart, then fasten the Hook Tape tab to the shoulder strap.
- The Miracle Grip rubber helps to stop the Sling from slipping down the chest, but if it does slip, reposition the Sling.
