Patient Application Instructions
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:
To ensure proper fit, product should be sized on patient pre-operatively. Product is shipped with strapping and sling
configured to address post-op or rehab for a right shoulder/arm. The symbol for Right (R) on cushion should be facing up. To convert for left shoulder/arm, detach sling from abductor cushion; flip cushion over so waist buckle is to front and the Left (L) symbol is facing up; attach sling to outside of cushion with hook and loop strips.
1 |
Release waist belt on cushion, hook and loop strips at wrist |
|
position on front of sling and forearm strap (fig A). |
||
|
||
2 |
Align cushion on the injured side at waist/hip level with |
|
elbow fixed at 90°. Place cushion so line on top of cushion is |
||
|
||
|
parallel to the front of your body (if you stand at a table, the |
|
|
line should be parallel to the table). |
|
3 |
Bring waist strap from cushion around back of waist and |
|
|
secure buckle at front of pillow (fig B). Adjust waist strap and |
|
|
trim as necessary for proper fit. |
|
4 |
Place forearm into sling with arm as far back as possible in |
|
the sling (fig C). Secure hook and loop straps at wrist |
||
|
||
|
position by first anchoring the strap closest to cushion, on |
|
|
cushion. Feed outside hook and loop strap through inside |
|
|
D-ring and secure strap on outside of sling (fig D). Place |
|
|
small mesh thumb strap (i) between thumb and forefinger |
|

and secure on sling. Secure forearm strap (ii) to sling and |
|
|
cushion (fig E). |
|
5 |
Using your free arm reach behind your body and slip arm |
|
|
through shoulder strap (fig F). This motion is similar to a |
|
|
putting on a backpack. One strap should be over the |
|
|
unaffected shoulder (clavicular area) and the other under |
|
|
the arm (straps B & C). Secure end of clip on Strap A to mate |
|
|
at front of cushion (fig G). Adjust and trim all straps for |
|
|
proper fit by removing Y-tab on end of straps, trim to proper |
|
|
