FAQ

 

How does the built-in Arm Support Pouch work?

 

The garment features a patent-pending easily accessed internal supportive pouch that immobilizes the affected limb and improves upon the benefits of a traditional sling.

 

Why is SlingTops superior to a traditional sling?

 

SlingTops improves upon a standard sling in several fundamental ways:

 

•SlingTops keeps the arm close to the body preventing the potentially dangerous swinging of limbs or slipping out of a sling due to the buckles or straps malfunctioning which may lead to re-injury. The affected limb is held securely without the use of the awkward straps associated with traditional slings.

 

•a traditional sling distributes weight across the back and opposite shoulder which can create unnecessary neck strain. SlingTops distributes pressure more uniformly across both shoulders with minimal pressure on the neck. 

 

•SlingTops provides a fashionable solution regarding what to wear and without the added risk of stretching out your everyday clothes with bulky casts. 

 

•SlingTops allows you to be discreet: look good and heal better without advertising to all that you are suffering from a condition or injury.

 

Can I wear it on either the left or right side?

 

Yes. Your SlingTops has an ambilateral design to accommodate both left and right arm or shoulder injuries or conditions.

 

Can my arm cast fit through the sleeve?

 

Yes. The extra wide sleeves are designed to accommodate a cast. Using the handy thumb hole ensures you can slip your forearm seamlessly into the Arm Support Pouch for a secure support system.

 

What conditions/injuries is this garment designed for?

 

SlingTops is ideal for your recovery from any condition or injury that requires support for your wrist, elbow, arm, shoulder or collarbone. This may include an injury such as rotator cuff tears, frozen shoulder, any number of fractures (upper arm, clavicle, elbow or wrist) or a lingering condition such as bursitis or tennis elbow. Additionally, SlingTops can be a support solution for permanent or chronic conditions such as post-stroke paralysis.
