Suspension arm sling

44 devices · GMDN 13622

A suspension arm sling is a simple, triangular-shaped textile loop designed to support an injured arm while restricting movement during recovery. Clinically, it helps reduce strain on the shoulder or elbow by keeping the limb elevated and immobilized, aiding in healing processes like fractures or soft tissue injuries.

These devices are generally reusable but intended for single-patient use, meaning they are cleaned and sanitized between patients. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are typically classified as low-risk medical devices due to their minimal clinical intervention and non-invasive use.
