My husband broke his scapula (and six ribs!) and the exit paperwork from the ER told him to wear a sling, but didn't send him home with one. I bought one sling from Walgreens (inexpensive and basically useless), and three of the better selling models from Amazon. One of the three had a split shoulder strap - thought that would be the winner - but it didn't hold his arm securely against his chest well enough and was somewhat uncomfortable. The other we tried was very uncomfortable for him, and left red marks on his neck. This one ticks all the boxes. I put it on him and he immediate said "That's better!". It's breathable, he found the arm pouch quite comfortable, and the Velcro strap is really easy to adjust. It held his arm securely against his chest, and completely removed the tug on his shoulder from the weight of his arm. No neck pain. He was even able to sleep with it! Highly recommended. Read more
I recently had to use an arm sling after fracturing my arm, and I couldn't be more pleased with my choice. This sling was not only a great price, but it also worked wonderfully for my recovery process. The design is comfortable and supportive, providing just the right amount of stability for my injured arm. I appreciated how easy it was to adjust, ensuring a snug fit without being overly tight. It allowed me to go about my daily activities with minimal discomfort. Overall, I highly recommend this arm sling to anyone in need of support during their recovery. It’s effective, affordable, and made a significant difference in my healing journey! Read more
Super comfortable! Easy to do with one hand. Only downside is if you have long arms or a bulky cast, the sling stops at the wrist so it is hard to use the thumb loop. Read more
The best arm sling. Read more
I had to have hand surgery and bought this ahead of time. It felt fine trying it out before surgery. After surgery I quickly realized it was wholly inadequate. Once the cast was on, it was difficult to keep it in place. I couldn't use the thumb strap, because my surgery involved my thumb. In addition, it pressed into my neck. I found one that is made for shoulder stabilization that has two straps, which saved my neck. My elbow was allowed to pass through one side so no thumb strap was needed. So if you won't be able to use your thumb, or you don't want a sore neck, find the one with 2 straps. Also, if you're going to have a nerve block, the shoulder stabilization strap is invaluable because you won't be able to control your arm for 2 days, and that strap will keep your arm from swinging around.

Very comfy after collarbone surgery. Read more
i have purchased three slings after my shoulder surgery trying to find one that is comfortable and cool. I especially like this one because it is the most lightweight one that works for me. i had another one that was very comfortable, but it was really heavy and hot when I went outside in the Texas heat. A plus is that you can put it on with your one good arm, although it is a little awkward. the only drawback is that it only comes in one size, and that size is quite large for me. I am a medium sized women--5'4" about 140. I have to cinch it about as tight as it will go, and it still hangs lower than my other two slings. Also, it says it is not machine washable. Read more
I purchased this brace for extra support after a humerus fracture and to replace the cheap sling the hospital gave me. This sling is great!! It can be used for sprains, tendonitis, extra support for breaks when you have to wear a brace or cast. I use this particular one to allow my wrist to move around as it is a little shorter. ( I am 5'8"). I then use the Arm Sling Fit XL to cover my whole lower arm and hand to give my wrist a rest. These slings are made very nice, breathable and easy to use by yourself which is exactly what I was looking for. Excellent customer service also!! Read more
