Push Med Shoulder Brace

The Push Med Shoulder Brace provides effective immobilisation of the arm during a variety of shoulder injuries. The Push Med Shoulder Brace can be easily applied by patients themselves and has individually adjustable straps to ensure an optimum fit, without straining the shoulders or neck.

Push Med Shoulder Brace Optimisation

The Push Med Shoulder Brace can position the arm in a neutral position or at a slight adduction, lessening the strain on the shoulder. The position can be changed easily by turning the breast band slightly. The third point of fixation is the wrist band. This ensures fixation in endorotation position. Lastly, the brace has a separate band that is slipped around the hand and thus supports the hand to prevent hanging. If only abduction restriction is required, the wrist fixation may be removed. As the brace closes around the body, the neck and shoulder regions remain unstressed. Each fixation point is individually adjustable, for an optimal fit in all circumstances.

• Clavicle fracture
• Status after (sub)luxation
• Post-operative shoulder joint status
• Periarthritis humeroscapularis
• Subcapital fracture in humerus
• Immobiliser in the case of hemiparesis, for example at night
