VelpeauVelpeau Arm Sling Shoulder Immobilizer for Women and Men, fit Left or Right Arm - Rotator Cuff Support Brace - Medical Sling for Shoulder, Clavicle, Elbow Injury (Comfort type, Large: Bust 33.5″-41″)

I recently dislocated my shoulder and needed something comfortable and supportive to help me heal. This arm sling was perfect! It’s lightweight but sturdy, easy to put on and adjust by myself, and it doesn’t dig into my neck like some others I’ve tried in the past. The breathable fabric made it comfortable to wear all day without overheating. It gave me the support I needed while still allowing some mobility. Definitely recommend for anyone dealing with a shoulder injury—worth every penny!

This thing is amazing! It’s extremely comfortable. It doesn’t dig into your neck. It is versatile for one side or the other. It supports everything including your thumb. I tore out the tendons and muscles between my shoulder and my bicep. It is keeping everything stable. Especially having a strap that goes around your back to keep your arm from moving forward. I drive for a living and other than trying to put my seatbelt on. I have no problems whatsoever. It was worth every dime. Also I live in Florida so it is quite warm, but I bought the non-ventilated one and I like it much better. It’s still breathable and more comfortable because it has a padding in it.

This review is for the breathable version. Purchased for a broken clavicle and turns out to be far superior to the braces we got at the ER, then the ortho's office and then the pharmacy, once you figure out how to get it on, that is. I would be giving it five stars except for a few minor issues. First of all, the instructions say (and the videos show) that it can be put on without assistance, to which I respond a hearty HA! Don't think about putting this on without help if you have a shoulder injury more serious that just a mild strain! Secondly, the straps on the elbow end of the sling we received were in a very different location than the illustrations in the instructions, which left us briefly puzzled but not so much that we didn't eventually unpuzzle ourselves. And lastly, as is often the case, the Velcro is both a blessing and a misery. It certainly provides a secure fit but because of multiple anchor points, is a pesky hindrance when putting on the sling and just another reason why putting this on solo is best not attempted. But overall, good design and great support. It's been worn now for about two weeks and the shoulder strap does seem to have stretched very slightly--still many weeks to go before full recovery so I will update when we are done using it. Overall, I would definitely recommend this sling. Edit: Performed well as long as was needed. Hopefully, it can now be permanently retired!

This sling is a great product, and the price is very reasonable. I BROKE MY SHOULDER AND HAD TO HAVE SURGERY. i have 3 other slings, one was over S100.00 that I got from the ortho dr. This sling is so much better, and it doesn't cut into your neck. I like that it comes up higher above my elbow for good support. The best sling for your money. others that are comparable can sell for over $150. 00! being I will be wearing this for a few more months, I'm happy I CHOOSE TO GO WITH THIS ONE..

I got this item because I had surgery on my wrist and I needed it to stop moving around when I was going to class in college. I worked for what I needed it for.It's feels more like in the medium weight territory for arm braces. I did sweat in this brace and it was winter time. Setup was a chore when doing it solo but once you get it right you don't need to do it again. Also it's durable and looks machine washable. I haven't washed it so I can't comment on it. I would probably place it in a mesh bag though to be on the safe side and not to tangle with other items in the wash.Pro(s): Works well when set up correctly. Soft. Comfortable. Sturdy yet flexible. Can be used for either side. Adjustable.Con(s): Semi-breathable. Setup is confusing when it's for the left side.

I got the sling because I had ordered a previous sling that did not have the strap that came around the back to my arm. I feel things had jolted me and caused pain when my arm shot out on the old sling. This one is better padded than the other, making it much more comfortable. It also is adjustable for smaller frames. See the photo for example. There is also the straps inside to put your hand in for stability as well as the thumb sling. It is also reversible. Orange is for the left side, green is for the right side. I’m very happy to have found this sling as I did not see any others like it.

But this, for my sister after she broke her arm in three places. The sling they sent her home with after surgery was cutting into her neck and very uncomfortable. We got this the next day and it made the world of difference for her. Take your time putting it on until you get the hang of it, but once you do, it’s perfect and super comfortable.

Definitely more comfortable than a traditional arm sling that sits on your neck. However, I wish more sizes were available. Technically I need a extra large but, with that not being carried when I purchased this, I went to the 2X (because a large would have been too small) and it's definitely too big.
