How the Hely & Weber GUS Shoulder Immobilizing Sling Works
The Hely & Weber Shoulder Immobilizing Sling immobilizes the shoulder by cradling the arm in a deep sling pocket, while the posterior gusset panel anatomically aligns the elbow for improved comfort and stability. Adjustable straps distribute weight evenly across the body, preventing strain on the neck and shoulder. The integrated thumb loop helps secure the hand, reducing slippage and improving compliance during recovery.
By stabilizing the shoulder joint, the GUS Immobilizing Sling minimizes movement that could worsen injury, allowing the shoulder to heal properly after dislocation, fracture, rotator cuff repair, or other surgical procedures.
