Slings

Don Joy UltraSling III
The UltraSling III provides immobilization for rotator cuff repairs, capsular shifts, Bankhart repairs, glenohumeral dislocations/subluxation and soft tissue repairs/strains. The Ultrasling III employs moisture wicking mesh fabric for greater comfort, particularly in longer term use and also promotes auxiliary air exchange to reduce risk of secondary infections and prevents internal rotation contractures. The easy-open front panel and quick release buckles make it easy to take on and off for exercise/therapy and encourages forearm exercises.

Bledsoe Arc 2.0
Post-op positions vary; therefore the aluminum support can be positioned in a variety of ways including: 0° to full internal rotation, up to 70° external rotation and up to 45° abduction.
The signature aluminum waistband is moldable to each patient’s unique torso shape and prevents anterior migration that is common with shoulder slings. The ARC 2.0 universal sling design folds to fit every patient with one brace – right or left, football player or gymnast. The ARC 2.0 features 2.0 material for maximum breathability and comfort. The 2.0 material captures moisture and moves it away from the skin to another layer of fabric for quick evaporation, drying the skin 4x faster than typical breathable materials.

Braces

Breg TROM
The Breg T Scope Premier Post-Op knee brace is designed to provide protected, controlled range-of-motion for patients recovering from knee surgery or those who have knee injuries or instabilities. The brace is comfortable, lightweight, simple to apply, and easily adjustable for a personal fit. It features a user-friendly hinge to control the range of motion of the patient’s knee. It is universal, and fits most patients. The T Scope Premier post-op knee brace brings a time-tested design, easy-to-use features, high performance, and unprecedented comfort to help ensure patient compliance.
