Shoulder orthosis

Shoulder orthoses are external devices designed to stabilize, align, or protect the shoulder joint after injury, surgery, or to prevent deformities. They help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support healing by limiting movement or providing compression where needed.

These devices are typically reusable and regulated as orthopedic appliances, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction. They may require compliance with general medical device regulations, including safety and performance standards, depending on their intended use and risk level.
