What is this Sling for? ▼
This Sling is made to immobilise and support an injured arm or shoulder, by stabilising wrist, forearm or upper arm injuries to minimise movement and help with recovery.
How does the Sling attach and adjust? ▼
This Sling has a Velcro fastening for secure, adjustable support, allowing a snug fit that can be applied fast in first aid scenarios.
Can it replace a triangular bandage arm-sling? ▼
This pre-made Sling can give faster, more reliable support than a makeshift triangular bandage sling, minimising application time and giving better immobilisation.
Which injuries is this Sling suitable for? ▼
This sling is suitable for suspected fractures, sprains or dislocations of wrist, forearm or shoulder, and for stabilising the arm while waiting for a medical assessment.
Should workplaces stock this Sling in first-aid kits? ▼
Workplaces with risk of trauma, manual handling, slips or falls should stock a Sling in conjunction with dressings and bandages, to allow readiness for fractures or sprain.
