Shoulder Immobilizer

A shoulder immobilizer is designed to hold your arm against your body. It's used for injuries where you need to limit how much you can move your shoulder. These injuries include a shoulder dislocation or shoulder fracture where moving your shoulder too much could cause harm.

You should use the immobilizer all the time or as advised by your healthcare provider. This will prevent other people from accidentally pulling on your arm. It also keeps you from sleeping in an incorrect position or moving the shoulder into a position that might make your injury worse.

A joint that is immobilized too long can become stiff and lose range of motion. Follow-up with your healthcare provider as advised. Don’t use the shoulder immobilizer longer than you are told to. Ask if you should move your elbow, wrist, and hand.
