OTC Clavicle Strap, Figure-8 Style, Select Series, Medium

Good

Forget slings. I broke my clavical in a cave fall. I had a sling snd was in constant paint. But this, this is what you need. Once I put it on and had someone tighten it, it took away most of my pain.

Son uses it when he needs it.

Cheaply made product, did not serve its purpose. Plastic piece on back broke with minimal pressure when tightening straps

First of all, I ordered the XL size. I'm just over the L-XL border. I might have been able to go with the L size just the same. What's important is that the straps are the correct continuous length and are no Velcro extension straps, as some other shoulder braces come with.What's the drawback?I've used several of these before for my curved shoulders. This model's main over-shoulder straps are padded. So, while they are comfortable, they are thick and will not be hidden when worn under a shirt or a blouse.Other similar braces may come with flatter straps which are almost always well hidden under cloths but are less comfortable in general.Now you have to choose your preference.

Within a few weeks, the seam started to come apart, exposing the padding on the shoulder strapsOne of the straps that you pull to tighten it up over your shoulder keeps getting twisted and no matter what you do you can’t stop it from twistingThis figure 8 style I bought because the doctor recommended it for my fractured claviclePoor quality

I bought this product to help with my posture. I broke my collarbone and scapula eight months ago (BRUTAL), opted not to have surgery, and as a result, my collarbone is slightly shorter and I catch myself slouching a lot. I was in a similar strap for two months during healing.This product is great for posture and pulling the shoulders back. It is of durable material and says Made in the USA on box. Very easy to put on and take off by myself.**If you are getting this product to help HEAL a broken collarbone, you may want to get one with thicker straps to better ‘splint’ and stabilize the bone (speaking from experience). These straps certainly aren’t a magic cure for broken bones, but they do help!**

It served its purpose for me, but was hard for me to apply by myself with a broken collar bone because you have to put it on then reach around behind you to grab the straps. If the straps were longer it would be easier.
