Brownmed - Joslin Sling Ultimate Arm Sling - Arm Sling for Men & Women to Support Shoulder, Elbow, or Wrist Injury - Arm Immobilizer, Shoulder Stabilizer & Rotator Cuff Support - Pro 3 XL

First, to all of the naysayers complaining about it not being a full sling: please read the whole product description. Don't give a bad review simply because you focused on the picture instead of the text the makes up the description!Anyway, my Mother had to undergo a shoulder replacement procedure back in December. In January, somehow the internal stitches tore, and they had to to a repair. The Doc warned that she was to keep the arm as immobile as possible so that no further tears occured.My Mother, while I love her dearly, is not always the best of most reliant when it comes to following Doctor's orders. She was scared to death after the second surgery, though, because she was told that if a tear occured following this surgery, they would have to do a reverse-shoulder operation.So, I went on a search to help with my Mother's recovery. I found this product, and it has worked WONDERS for her! She says that it is not only comfortable, but also quite effective. It may just simply be an exercise in psychology, but having that immobilizer strap at the very least serves as a reminder to NOT MOVE HER ARM! LOL!Whatever the case, Mom is using it on a constant basis (a small miracle in itself!), and it is working as intended. Remember people, this is NOT a complete sling! It's just the strap!When her ortho Doc saw the whole thing (I bought the "matching" sling as well), he was very impressed with the quality, and the effectiveness of it.For those people whom are convelescing, and to do so need to keep an arm or shoulder in place, this product is great. It has won over my Mom's VERY jaded view of all things mecial-related (White-coat syndrome), which speaks volumes about the product!

I am a tall big person This is the first product that actually stretched To accommodate me being a 3x.. comfortable material with gracious strapOthers were disappointing. They need to make things to accommodate everyday Big people not just gigantic sports figures

I got this in combination with the company's child sling for my 9 year old to wear. He broke his upper humerus, but the only available slings at the hospital and orthopedist was an adult small that wasn't very comfortable. It does slide quite a bit more than the single unit that the hospital sent home, so it's not great for sleeping, but this is much softer and flexible, so he wears this sling and strap during the school day. We're going on 9 weeks in the sling, and the Velcro still works perfectly, so I'm happy with the purchase and would recommend the product.

My adult son had a complete fracture of his humerus & was sent home from the ER with their stand sling. He wore that for the week before surgery then thankfully, I found this on Amazon. Heis almost 6 feet tall & 250 pounds & had a lot of swelling. He said it was so much better immediately. It fits very well and has some stretch. Other reviews noted a scratchy area on the strap, but he uses a soft bandana underneath anyway & said to give it all 5 stars. He uses the hospital sling in the shower. I also got him a rotator cuff pillow on Amazon. It just came yesterday so we will see. I hope this helps, I’m a nurse so I have high standards & use reviews too. Bless anyone with these injuries/surgeries.

Terrible choice for a child. The strap does NOT stay in place on an active kid. It also stretches so much that, in a short time, the strap wraps double around the child's arm so that the arm becomes wrapped inside the much thinner band of the strap itself, thus causing extra pressure to be applied exactly where you DON'T want it.Please note that this is not intended to be an angry post; simply a factual one detailing the weaknesses of the product.By contrast, the companion sling -- SOLD SEPARATELY-- is decent, though also stretchy as described above.

I'd give the adult size two stars and the child size 4 stars, but the same review keeps populating for both sizes, so I decided on three stars. The adult size strap is way too big for me. I am at least 40 pounds over the 90 pounds limit on the description, but the youth strap is large enough for me even when I am wearing my winter coat. I have difficulty putting on either one single-handed, but it does the job once it is in place. I'm frustrated by the number of reviewers who put a review for the sling here. This review is just for the strap; I have reviewed the child and adult slings separately.

I broke my left humerus 2 weeks ago - upper left arm. After two weeks in a splint I gradated to a brace but the sling I was given in ER was really chafing and slipping around.I bought the Joslin Swathe(R) Adult Arm Immobilzer Strap because I was having moments when I felt my lower arm swinging out a little from my body at the break - the immobilizer is perfect. Keeping the arm immobilized and stable so the bone can heal is my main preoccupation for the next two months so it was well worth the investment.I also bought the matching Ultimate Arm Sling (also sold at Amazon) and it is soft and a little clingy so it stays in place. The strap adjusts from the front and is padded for comfort, very convenient. It feels much more secure, just what I need for the next 6-8 weeks, as the two bone sections grow back together.I didn't see sizing on the description of the sling but it is on the pack - Avg Adult - 90 to 250 lb, 5 - 6 f. tall. There is a child's size (50-90 lb,3.5 - 5 ft) and two larger sizes. On the swathe wrap, the adult size is 90 - 225 lb., 50 " wrap.

I bought this item because I had difficulty finding a sling that would fit my long arms (37" shirt sleeves). Also needed a breathable sling for trip to warmer weather.The fit is ok but the sling is very flimsy and provides little support. It is breathable.I am 4 weeks post shoulder replacement. I can use this now but NO way in weeks 0-3 as it provides poor support. Also this will stretch out after prolonged use.Since I have longervarm issue it fit the need. For someone with no arm length issues you can find a better option.

I would of loved to give this sling 5 stars but the Velcro fastening lets it down badly. The sling itself is absolutely lovely, the cotton stretch Lycra is so soft and comfortable just unfortunately the Velcro fastening is very uncomfortable, the Velcro is hard razor sharp and digs into and rubs on your neck. This really needs some kind of neck pad to go around the Velcro to stop this from happening! I can't live in this sling for the next 6-8 week so I've had to spend extra money on buying another sling :(. So disappointed.

Bit disappointed not a great deal of support. Flimsy material ,not. worth money. Would not recommend .. to a friend.
