It is a bit confusing the first time you put it on, and I admit to using profanity while trying to figure out what appeared to be a puzzle. However, the instructions and videos here helped to figure it out. After once or twice putting it on and taking it off, you get the hang of it quickly. Hooking and unhooking the two clips is easy and convenient.
I did find that the strap that runs from the shoulder harness to the double clip strap was too long, but this could have been due to me not using the hip pad. I am six feet tall and measured my arm length at about 13 inches, so I bought a large. The sling portion was perfect for my arm and hand, but this front strap was way too long. I couldn't tighten it enough. Interestingly, the nurse who adjusted and fitted the sling after my surgery removed the long front strap and attached the double clip strap with its plastic loop directly to the two straps in the shoulder harness. I would never have thought of this. While I can't guarantee that your nurse will know how best to rig this sling for you, I would recommend that you take the sling to your surgery and give it to your nurse. My guess is that they all know how to rig it depending on your needs and the recommendations of your surgeon.
I had to buy this myself. I don't think there's a health insurance that covers it based on what I was told. As far as I'm concerned, it was the best money I could have spent to assist with a comfortable and safe recovery after rotator cuff surgery. I've told everyone, including my surgeon, that this is a fantastic product! My recommendation to anyone facing rotator cuff or shoulder surgery is don't go into surgery without this Donjoy Ultrasling IV prodcut.

- From Brad Zendahas
- Q: I had shoulder surgery for a shoulder fracture and I'm going to be needing a comfortable sling for the next 3-4 months. How do I decide between the II, II, and IV?
- A: The material and the strapping is the only difference between these slings. The Ultrasling II has a cotton material in the sling. The Ultrasling III was designed with a mesh material in the sling so that it would be breath better for more comfort. Those two slings have the same strap design over the opposite shoulder and across the back to your waist. The Ultrasling IV has the same type of material as the III, but the strapping system features a loop around the opposite shoulder to take the pressure off the neck. All of the slings come with a 15 degree abduction pillow and will support your shoulder well.

- From Soji
- Q: How is the IV different than the III?
- A: The shoulder strap on the Ultrasling IV has the under-the-armpit portion, which helps offload stress on your neck while providing comfort and support for your shoulder. The shoulder strapping on the II goes right over the shoulder area like a normal sling.
