Professional shoulder and elbow sling OKG-24

Upper extremity injuries

From an anatomical point of view, the upper limb consists of the shoulder, arm, forearm and hand. It is characterised by a large range of movement and its proper functioning is essential for the performance of daily activities. Unfortunately, all parts – the shoulder, elbow and hand – are prone to injury. The most common include fractures, rotator cuff injuries or of shoulder and elbow dislocations. Any injury or tissue damage, is associated with swelling and limited mobility of the joint and sometimes requires surgical treatment. Both in the case of an injury suffered and after surgery, it is necessary to immobilize the limb. Our OKG-24 professional shoulder and elbow sling is ideal for this purpose.

Product’s description:

The OKG-24 upper limb splint is a professional medical device that is invaluable for stabilizing the arm after injury or surgery. The sling keeps the upper limb in therapeutic elevation, thus reducing swelling, improving blood and lymph circulation and speeding up the recovery process.
The OKG-24 shoulder and elbow sling is made of skin-friendly UniCotton™ material.

The use of natural cotton material allows the skin to breathe freely and wick away moisture.

The OKG-24 upper limb sling has an innovative design. It keeps the arm in elevation, which supports blood and lymph flow and prevents the venous stasis that can be dangerous complication after operations and injuries.

A special cut-out keeps the elbow joint in the correct position and prevents uncontrolled arm abduction.

The use of an elastic arm strap enables a perfect fit of the sling and provides additional stabilization of the limb.

This solution allows the sling to be used safely to stabilize the arm in case of shoulder, elbow and hand injuries.
The wide adjustment range of the shoulder strap allows the degree of limb elevation to be adjusted to the individual therapeutic needs of the user.

Our innovative OKG-24 shoulder and elbow sling has been created from the most skin-friendly materials. It is lightweight and comfortable to use and can therefore be used successfully for acute upper limb injuries and as post-operative stabilization.
Our OKG-24 upper limb immobilization brace is anatomic-shaped, so it adapts perfectly to the limb’s anatomy. In addition, it is a one-size product. Wide circumferential adjustment and innovative design offer perfect fitting both the right and left arm.
