Neo-G Arm Sling for Shoulder Injury Arm Injury Recovery, Pre/Post Surgery - Airflow Breathable Lightweight Shoulder Sling - Adjustable Straps - Class 1 Medical Device

After having labrum repair surgery to my shoulder I was given a standard sling by the NHS, where the velcro attachments were rubbish and it didn't even last 2 weeks (My arm has to be in a sling for a minimum of 6 weeks) Also my kneck was very sore from the lack of padding and rubbing of the provided sling however this sling comes with a cushion type 'rest' that is adjustable and comfortable. I purchased this sling and it is very well made and looks much better when going out (Better than a blue velvety sling anyway!). It offers excellent support to my shoulder, breathable and lightweight and I will most likely be purchasing another one when I have my other shoulder operated on! I recommend anyone who is going to be wearing a sling for a while to buy one as this is a very good investment and you'll be much comfier than the slings provided.

I purchased this for my wife following a recommendation from my local pharmacy. It has made a big difference to her arm comfort by providing excellent support while she recovers from a long term problem. The Neo-G Arm Sling is a very good fit, is very well made and easy to use. To date my wife has used it every day as she is so pleased with the difference it has made for her. Recommended.

Well made and durable. Washable too. I found the straps easy to adjust with good quality strong velcro tabs. The waistband was an unexpected 'must have' for me as my injury required both horizontal and lateral restraint for a time. The sleeve is generous in size and breatable, and I was even able to put the sling on after putting on a light jacket.

Can be used on the right and left side. Worked perfectly.

Generally, when you're wearing a sling such as this which includes holding your arm tightly to your chest, it is because you should avoid moving the arm too much. This sling can do that once you have managed to get it on, but unfortunately it is really tricky to get on without wriggling around a lot. As other reviews have mentioned, the straps are too long, particularly the over shoulder strap on the opposite uninjured shoulder. What this means is you have to somehow get the strap right over the top of the shoulder without moving your injured shoulder too much, an almost impossible task. There are tricks you can do to try work around this such as not undoing the strap but that means contorting your body to try to fit through the loop instead and still moving your injured shoulder. On top of that, again as other reviews have mentioned, the velcro part of strap overlaps the edges unless you are ultra, ultra precise, which you can't be because of how long it is you're trying to guess where you're pushing it into place on your back. That means the soft padding sliding section always catches on the velcro part as you try to shift it into place, which means more tugging and pulling and movement that you should be avoiding. Once it is on it is comfortable but often you'll just be putting it on too low because it is too tricky to get it on correctly. It isn't fit for purpose in my opinion and I went back to wearing my old NHS given sling and twisting the straps around to make the velcro last another few weeks.

I had a Labrum repair (SLAP) near 4 weeks ago. During the day the need to wear the waist strap is a bit redundant. Regardless I wore the waist strap for the first 10 days as found it was good additional support. The strap over the shoulder is great. Easily adjustable to help you get it over your head. As I am finishing using this sling (4 weeks) the Velcro has worn down a bit but it is still a good product. At first I thought the waist strap goes right around the person but discovered the two Velcro ends attach to the two anchor points. This is great to loosen up at night and makes a big difference for sleeping. The product is breathable and is good support. It does not keep your arm warm which is good when sleeping. Ensure you plan ahead for your shoulder operation. Elastic laces for getting a pair of walking shoes on and off. Baggy T-shirts- Don't wear tight upper clothing. Support handle to get in and out of bath / shower. Ensure you've got something to wash your armpits for the first 2 weeks (just saying it gets smelly). Make sure you've a zip on your jeans (no buttons) as you'll discover using 1 hand is difficult. Extra pillows so you can sit up right and rest arm on. A good few TV series to watch. All in all the sling I got from the hospital was rubbish. Defiantly worth the money

I chose this product to replace a shoulder sling provided by the NHS following shoulder surgery. The product feels solidly made and apart from the design flaw I mention below, it's also comfortable to wear. Unfortunately there is a major flaw in the choice of materials, which makes the product frustratingly difficult to use with one hand. The movable shoulder cushion is made of a spongy fabric material which catches onto the shoulder strap velcro when it is moved into position. When the arm is placed in the sling, you then need to lift the strap over your good shoulder, thread it through 2 plastic buckles above your wrist and fasten the velcro bit onto the front of the shoulder strap. So far so good. Now it's time to move the cushion in position to protect your neck from the scratchy velcro and the stiff edges of the strap. At this point, at my height of 183cm, the cushion gets caught EVERY SINGLE TIME I try to shuffle it on position. I've tried cutting the velcro down in size, yet this doesn't solve the problem. Next step is to take it to a tailor to adapt it or make a cushion from a different material. No idea why the manufacturer hasn't been fixed with a simple solution yet. Maybe it's just me experiencing the problem. Amazon customer service has been excellent and I appreciate their support. However the product still has a design flaw in my opinion.

Really comfortably. Arm sits in the sling fully. Thumb loop is really helpful as well. Easy to put on and take off one handed.

Lo ho usato per 4 settimane ed ancora lo uso. Molto ergonomico, distribuisce il peso, comodo, e anche esteticamente carino

I messed my shoulder up (again) and the one the hospital gave me was horrendous the strap cut into my neck and was hot (I live in Florida). I got this one because I may need surgery (again) and will probably have use for it in the future I am a goof! It is very adjustable with lots of straps! It has a really nice neck cushion (could be a bit bigger) so that the weight isn't cutting into your neck. I really didn't need the immobilization part but it does come with a strap for that and seems like it would do the job really well. It does have an inner loop apparently for your fingers most have it for your thumb but this one is big as you can almost fit your hand into it. I do wish that was adjustable but it is not. It also breathes very well even though it is black (but black can be good as it doesn't stand out as much). I'm 5'8" and it fits me quite well with plenty of adjustability left!

Bastante mejor que los de la seguridad social. Se pone y quita con facilidad y es ajustable y discreto (no color carne )
