- Reviews
- Well made and fits my small size
-
The brace is well made and fits my 5'4" size body without issue. Measuring was easy (I took a size Small) and ordering was fast and easy as well.
- Arrived in time
-
Arrived in time for surgery as promised. Ordering online was easy.
- Just what my doctor wanted me to use.
-
Product was exactly as described. My orthopedic doctor said to bring this Sling Shot 3 into the day of my surgery so I would have the brace when I went home. It arrived three days ahead of schedule. Great purchase.
- Very good support with SlingShot 3
-
I'm 5'9. It was just right in the forearm length; had to read the directions in the beginning to make sure i adjusted the straps correctly to get the fit just right. The pictures helped immensely. Learned to put the velcro straps back on themselves when removing it to avoid having spaghetti straps sticking to one another. Very comfortable though and provided support for my rotator cuff repair. I'm currently wearing it all day.
- Wish The Strap System Came in Size Options - Not Just The Sleeve Length
-
I have the same problem that Lynn mentions in her review of the Breg Slingshot 3. I am 5'8" and the pocket for my elbow is too low, even with all straps cinched as short as possible. (Note: Breg tells me that all sizes of the Breg Slingshot 3 have the same size straps. The only variable is the length of the forearm sleeve as you go from size small through x-large.) It may be that the best solution for people 5'8" and shorter is to choose a shoulder brace with the traditional 1-strap design.
- Relieves neck pressure
-
I am 6-5, 320 lbs. and recently had rotator cuff re-attachment surgery. Another top sling that I purchased gave some relief, but killed my neck in the process. Due to a coincidental out-of-socket shoulder, I had to remove the pillows from the sling. Because of the unique sling design, it still functioned well for immobilization of the arm/shoulder. I will be having surgery on the opposite shoulder in 6 months, and look forward to having this universal sling on hand. I also bought the sling extender, but found that I did not need it, despite the fact that my chest is 56". Great service. Many thanks.
- Wish it came smaller!
-
It really does the trick immobilizing my shoulder, but even the small is too big. I am an average size 5'4" woman, and I have had to cinch every adjustment as tight as it will go. The sling portion is too large, so I have had to add padding under my forearm to get the proper support.
- Q&A
Q&A for Breg Slingshot 3 Shoulder Brace
- From Brenda
- Q: Does this brace come with a pillow?
- A: Yes, it comes with a forearm pillow to keep the arm slightly away from the body. This brace is better than a ordinary neck type sling. It distributes the weight of the arm over the opposing shoulder instead of around the neck for greater comfort.
