The Breg SlingShot 3 is a clinician-driven innovation in shoulder bracing. Its design provides superior comfort for the patient recovering from surgery while providing multiple options of post-operative support. The product features two adjustable wedge-shaped pillows for comfort that can provide different configurations for post-operative support. A single or double wedge configuration can be used to position the shoulder in neutral or 45 degrees of external rotation in addition to the 15 degrees of abduction. The convertible pillow's hook and loop attachments make assembly of different pillow configurations fast and easy. The Breg SlingShot 3 shoulder brace features a unique shoulder harness designed to remove stress that's commonly placed on your neck. The shoulder harness has a front buckle closure that clicks in place for easier fitting and removal. The sling's Airmesh® fabric provides breathable, moisture-wicking comfort for all day wear. Heat and moisture are wicked away from the arm for greater comfort. Whether used prior to or following surgery, the Breg SlingShot 3 is the perfect solution for ease of use and patient comfort.

- Reviews
- 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.
