The Freely adult sling supports and immobilises the shoulder, arm and wrist during recovery from injury or surgery. Its adjustable construction helps maintain a supported upper-limb position while reducing unnecessary movement.
The breathable neoprene body is secured with hook-and-loop closures. An adjustable shoulder strap allows the arm position to be adapted, while soft foam padding improves comfort around the neck and shoulder.
A removable webbing swathe strap helps secure the arm closer to the torso when additional immobilisation is required. The lightweight, machine-washable design supports regular use in clinical and home-recovery settings.

Frequently Asked Questions:
- When should the sling be used with the swathe strap?
The sling supports the upper limb on its own. The swathe strap may be added when the arm needs to be held closer to the torso for additional immobilisation.
- How is the sling adjusted for a secure and comfortable fit?
The shoulder strap changes the height and carrying position of the arm. The hook-and-loop closures secure the sling, while the swathe strap can be adjusted separately when additional immobilisation is required.
- Should the sling be professionally fitted?
Professional fitting is recommended following a fracture, dislocation or surgical procedure. A healthcare professional can confirm the correct size, arm position and whether the swathe strap is required.
- How should the wearing schedule be managed during recovery?
The wearing schedule depends on the injury, procedure and stage of recovery. A healthcare professional should advise when the sling may be removed for movement, prescribed exercises, bathing or assessment.
- How should the sling be cleaned without affecting the fit?
Follow the supplied care instructions, secure the hook-and-loop closures and check that the sling and straps are correctly positioned before reuse.
