Shoulder, Arm and Clavicle Support for Post-Surgical and Fracture Care

This category groups arm slings, shoulder immobilizers, abduction pillow slings and clavicle straps stocked across orthopedics, emergency departments, surgery centers and rehabilitation.
Shoulder and Arm Support Types Stocked
- Arm slings - Envelope and cradle slings that support the forearm and unload the shoulder, stocked in universal and multi-size formats with adjustable straps.
- Shoulder immobilizers - Sling-and-swathe systems that hold the arm against the torso to restrict shoulder rotation after injury or surgery.
- Abduction pillow slings - Slings with a foam abduction wedge that hold the shoulder at a set angle after rotator cuff or labral repair.
- Clavicle straps and figure-of-eight braces - Posture-style straps that retract the shoulders for clavicle fracture support, in pediatric and adult sizes.

Abduction Angle and Immobilizer Construction
Abduction pillow slings are stocked with foam wedges that set the shoulder at a fixed abduction angle - common wedge sizes hold the arm away from the body after rotator cuff and labral repair, and the wedge attaches to a body strap and sling pouch. Shoulder immobilizers use a sling pouch plus a swathe band across the torso to limit rotation. Both systems are stocked in graded body sizes and are reversible for left or right shoulder use. Closures are hook-and-loop for adjustment.
Shoulder, arm and clavicle supports move in steady volume through orthopedic surgery, emergency and fracture-care settings, where slings and immobilizers are dispensed at discharge across a range of body sizes. Consolidating slings, immobilizers and abduction systems through one wholesale account keeps discharge inventory stocked and case pricing consistent.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an arm sling and a shoulder immobilizer?
An arm sling is a pouch that supports the forearm and unloads the shoulder while allowing the arm to hang at the side. A shoulder immobilizer adds a swathe band across the torso so the upper arm is held against the body and shoulder rotation is restricted. Both are stocked in graded body sizes, with the immobilizer used where firmer rotation control is needed.
What are abduction pillow slings stocked for?
Abduction pillow slings pair a sling pouch with a foam wedge that holds the shoulder at a fixed abduction angle away from the body, a configuration commonly dispensed after rotator cuff and labral repair. Wedge angles and body sizes vary by brand and are listed on the product records. They are stocked reversible for left or right shoulder use.
What clavicle support products are available?
Clavicle support is covered by figure-of-eight straps and clavicle braces that retract the shoulders to support clavicle fracture healing. They are stocked in pediatric through adult sizes with hook-and-loop or buckle adjustment. Sizing is by chest and shoulder circumference and is noted on each product.
Can hospitals and clinics order shoulder, arm and clavicle supports in bulk?
Yes. Shoulder, arm and clavicle supports are stocked in case quantities for hospitals, surgery centers, orthopedic clinics, long-term care facilities, emergency departments and rehabilitation units, and licensed medical distributors. Standing order programs are available for the highest-velocity SKUs - universal arm slings, shoulder immobilizers and abduction pillow slings in standard body sizes. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What shoulder, arm and clavicle support products should be included in a facility formulary?
A working shoulder, arm and clavicle support formulary typically carries universal and sized arm slings, a shoulder immobilizer with swathe, an abduction pillow sling for post-repair use, clavicle straps in pediatric and adult sizes, and a neoprene shoulder support. Surgery centers with shoulder volume stock multiple abduction wedge angles.
