How should the sling-type bandage be worn correctly so that it really unloads the arm? — Support brace / handkerchief / type 610-2

The manufacturer describes wearing as follows: place the bandage on the arm according to the instructions on the packaging and adjust the strap for a comfortable fit. The English description adds: position the arm in the sling so that the forearm is supported at approximately 90 degrees and the hand is slightly elevated, and adjust the neck strap so that the support in the shoulder area is comfortable. According to the description, the bandage transfers the weight of the arm to the neck and shoulder area through a textile strap.

General recommendations (not a manufacturer's instruction): if the arm hangs too low, the unloading will be smaller; the strap should not press on or chafe the skin; it is better to avoid wearing it continuously without need unless your doctor has advised otherwise – the muscles of the arm and shoulder girdle need periodic activity. If pain or numbness increases, stop using it and see a doctor. According to the English description, store at room temperature in a dry place; keep out of the reach of children.
