Velpeau EpBloc Classic Shoulder Sling for Arm Immobilization

Velpeau EpBloc Classic Shoulder Sling for Arm Immobilization

The shoulder sling for arm immobilization is designed to support the shoulder and arm in a defined position when a doctor or surgeon recommends limited movement. The Velpeau EpBloc Classic provides structured support around the upper limb and helps restrict unwanted shoulder movement. Therefore, it can form part of suitable injury or post-operative care.

In addition, the sling uses padded and breathable material. As a result, it provides a more comfortable fit during regular wear. The adjustable hook-and-loop fasteners also help users set the support according to their body and professional instructions.

Moreover, the design can be used on either the right or left shoulder when fitted correctly. The open construction also allows the support to be worn over suitable clothing. Therefore, it can provide a practical solution for daily use during a prescribed period of shoulder immobilization.

This shoulder arm sling may be considered for selected shoulder injuries, acute instability, shoulder dislocation, rotator-cuff injury and post-operative care. However, the correct type of support and wearing period should always come from a doctor, surgeon or physiotherapist.
