Arm Sling and Swaithe Item # 610 Item # 610S (Sling Only) This sling is one of many arm slings we manufacture and is comfortable to wear with a single, fully adjustable padded shoulder strap. The arm section is long enough to support the hand. This can prevent hand drop. If the patient wants to use the hand, the hand section can be folded back on itself. Once the sling is in position, a separate swaithe can be fitted to abduct the arm next to the body. The sling can also be used when the patient is lying in bed, by undoing the shoulder strap at the elbow and re-fastening it on the loop sewn under the hand. Used in this manner, the sling will hold the arm vertically. This item is also available as the sling part only without the swaithe (wrap-around part). Please select from the drop down box below. Hand or machine wash only, up to 80°C. Do not tumble dry or wring - air dry only.
