Instructions for Use

Features adjustable waist and shoulder straps, a thumb loop to limit shoulder rotation, and a wide, stable sling that eliminates the need for a separate neck pad. The sling's design allows it to remain in place during x-rays and should be initially fitted by a healthcare professional.
