Shoulder Immobilizer
A Shoulder Immobilizer is a medical device designed to restrict movement of the shoulder joint. It is commonly used after injuries, surgeries, or conditions like fractures or dislocations to promote healing and prevent further damage. The immobilizer typically consists of straps and a supportive sling that holds the arm close to the body.
These devices are often recommended by healthcare professionals, such as orthopedic surgeons or physical therapists, to ensure proper recovery. Wearing a shoulder immobilizer can help reduce pain and swelling while allowing the affected area to rest. Proper usage and duration of wear should be guided by a medical expert.
