How Should I Wear the Jura Arm/Shoulder Immobiliser?
When fitting the Jura Shoulder Immobiliser, it's important to ensure that your hand is elevated above the height of your elbow. This will help to prevent blood pooling, reducing swelling and assisting with the natural healing process.
How Can the Arm/Shoulder Sling Help Me?
The shoulder sling exerts force along the length of the forearm, wrist, and hand. However, by creating a fulcrum point at the level of the proximal forearm, the downward weight of the hand and distal forearm pushes the elbow and humerus upward and provides a more efficient transmission of force.
Is The Jura Shoulder Immobiliser Machine Washable?
This immobiliser is not suitable for machine washing, please hand wash using a mild detergent and leave to air-dry.
When Is an Immobiliser Better Than a Standard Sling?
Injuries around the shoulder, upper arm and collarbone are best treated with a shoulder immobiliser, while injuries on the lower arm, wrist and hand are better suited to an ordinary arm sling.
