Shoulder abduction splint; 15º abduction
Indications
- impingement syndrome-in acute or chronic inflammation and after open or arthroscopic decompression and acromio-plasty
- reconstruction after rotator cuff ruptures
- conservative or post-operative treatment after relaxation of the ventral limbus and of the capsule after open and arthroscopic shoulder stabilisation
- conservative immobilisation of shoulder luxations / dislocations
Mode of action
- lateral positioning with anatomically shaped and fitted cushion to relieve the ventral limbus and the capsule
- 15º abduction position to avoid adhesions to axillary recess (frozen shoulder)
- immediate post-operative, active and passive mobilisation of hand, wrist and elbow joint by opening of forearm sling without taking off the whole bandage
- early functional follow-up treatment; facilitates post-operative physiotherapy
Features
- alternative fastening allows the splint to be worn on the right or the left, easy to fit
- improved hygiene of the body and comfort while wearing (free armpit)
- comfortable hand rest; option to train the forearm muscles
- comfortable to wear due to light weight and terry cloth padding
