A one-size arm sling designed for children. It supports the forearm and keeps it close to the body in a stable position, reducing the load on the shoulder and elbow during the rest period prescribed by a doctor after injury or alongside a cast.
Key Features
- Designed for children's proportions instead of using an oversized adult sling.
- Cradles the forearm and supports its weight, reducing unintended arm movement.
- Secured with a strap that passes around the neck and has an adjustable length.
- One size makes selection easier.
- Worn over clothing and easily removed.
How to Use
- Place the child's arm in the sling with the elbow resting at one end and the hand at the other.
- Pass the strap around the neck from the opposite side and adjust its length.
- Keep the hand slightly higher than the elbow unless the doctor directs otherwise.
- Make sure the strap does not press on the neck and that the child's fingers are visible.
Who Is It For?
For children whose doctor has advised arm or shoulder rest or temporary support, and with casts as directed by the treating doctor.
Precautions
- The sling does not replace a doctor's assessment of any injury or fracture.
- Check the colour and warmth of the child's fingers. Consult a doctor if numbness, swelling or a blue colour develops.
- Follow the duration of use prescribed by the doctor.
- Check that the size fits your child before use.
