1. Unfasten one side of each strap on the shoulder sling and on the abduction pad. Extend
straps to a generous length.
2. Position the abduction cushion so that the curved side is facing your torso against your
waist on the injured side of the body. Take the abduction strap that goes around your
back and secure it into position by snapping the buckle together. Make sure the strap is
not too tight. You should be able to fit two fingers between your body and the strap of
the abduction.
3. Gently slide the arm cradle of the sling under your arm and elbow. Ensure your elbow is
snug to the back of the corner of the arm cradle with your hand appearing at the open
end of the cradle. Fasten the wider arm cradle strap over your forearm. Align the sling
with the abduction cushion so that the gripping part of the pad is centered to the sling.
Attach with the fastening fabric. Make sure the open end of the sling fabric does not cut
into your wrist or hand. If your entire hand hangs at the wrist, your sling may be too small
or your elbow is not positioned snugly into the back of the arm cradle. Fasten the thinner
thumb strap to one side of the sling at the open end. Wrap strap around thumb and secure
to the other side of the sling at the open end. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
4. Take the strap behind the elbow on the arm cradle and wrap it around your back and
neck. Pull the strap from your neck and feed it through the loop above your hand (4).
Adjust the length and secure. Slide the cushioned padding along the strap so that it rests
behind your neck, ensuring you will not put any unnecessary strain on your neck muscles
or spinal column.
5. Tighten the straps so your hand and forearm are elevated above the level of your elbow.
This helps to prevent blood and fluid from pooling in your hand and wrist. Attach the strap
with the fastening fabric. Tighten or loosen the strap as necessary, so that you do not feel
as if all the pressure of holding your arm in place is emanating off your neck. Position the
squeeze ball at the end of the abduction padding in a place that is easily accessible by
your hand. Follow your physician’s instructions on positioning of the abduction and the
elevation of the arm. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN any of the straps.
