Mesh Arm Shoulder Sling - Medical Immobilizer for Shower Adjustable Torn Rotator Cuff Injury Right Left Men Women Elbow, Wrist (updated version 2)

Helpful after shoulder surgery! The material is soft and not itchy and it's breathable. I bought this item to use for showering and it has been perfect. Adjustable straps help support the arm and shoulder and you can still wash the arm with it on. The water flows through nicely and the velcro does not slip when it is wet it holds very tight and supports you well I definitely recommend if you've had a recent shoulder surgery

The Emergency Room sent me home with a sling after I broke my shoulder, with stern warnings to keep the shoulder still. That sling was loose -- at least one size too big -- and there was no way to get in and out of it myself. So I looked for alternatives. I ended up with a somewhat expensive sling for everyday use. I needed something that would hold everything as still as possible, and protect me from bumps. (For the first two weeks after my injury, going over a speed bump on neighborhood streets made me screech.) But this inexpensive mesh sling immediately became part of my survival kit. First, it's meant to go into the shower. Air and water can get through the holes, especially if you have a handheld shower head so you can spray under your sweaty armpit. It dries quickly, too. Also, it is far more adjustable than the other slings I used, and you don't need a caregiver to put it on. It's just one strap, and that strap opens up quite a ways. You can slide the strap all the way open, carefully put your arm into the mesh pocket, then duck your head through the strap. Best of all, you can slide it up and down without help. (And I got SO tired of having to ask for help.) This would not be my full-time sling, however. The mesh works great in the shower, but the fabric is a bit too scratchy to wear against the skin all day. I don't think it'd offer enough "keep things still" structure to immobilize the arm as you sleep, either. Still, it's an excellent price for something you need.

I purchased this to use in the shower after having rotator cuff repair surgery. It does the job just fine and dries fairly quickly. The only thing I wish it did have was a waste strap to secure my arm a little more. Anyone that has a large sling with a pillow will know what I mean by this. Nonetheless, it works just fine and is good for either left or right shoulders. Separately, I did purchase a travel/camping pillow to bolster my arm in the shower also.

Very helpful

This was a lifesaver for me with my broken humerus injury. I was able to shower in comfort and security. Very easy to put on and off. Highly recommend.

I bought this to use with the "body pillow" on my shoulder immobilizer after rotator cuff surgery. That sling was neoprene, and very hot. This is lightweight and breathes. The adjuster sits right on the top of your shoulder (5'10", 200#), but it's a cheap option to keep cooler. I had to rig it with an additional strap to keep my shoulder properly immobilized, but I'm sure it will work fine without modification if you aren't trying to use it after rotator cuff surgery. Oh, and it's great in the pool!

This worked very good after shoulder replacement much less lighter than original boxy one used 2 weeks on

Very comfortable and lightweight. Easy to put on with one hand. Much better than hospital issue. I highly recommend seller and sling.
