Clavicle Braces & Figure-8 Straps

Orthopedic Support for Clavicle Fractures & Injuries

When treating a fractured clavicle (broken collarbone), the goal is immobilization to allow the bone to knit back together without surgery. A medical-grade figure-8 clavicle splint provides superior stabilization compared to a standard arm sling because it keeps both shoulders retracted.

• Immobilization: Our braces feature high-tensile strength straps that prevent the "slumping" motion that causes pain and prevents proper bone alignment.

• Medical-Grade Fasteners: Unlike retail-grade supports, our products use heavy-duty hook-and-loop closures designed to maintain consistent tension for the full 6–8 week recovery period.

• Post-Surgical Use: For complex fractures requiring surgery, these braces serve as a critical post-operative aid to protect the surgical site during the initial healing phase.

Figure-8 Braces for Posture Correction

Many of our clavicle supports double as high-performance posture correctors. If you suffer from "screen slouch" or rounded shoulders, a figure-eight strap acts as a gentle proprioceptive reminder to keep your spine aligned.

• Retrain Muscle Memory: By pulling the shoulders back, the brace helps "remind" your rhomboids and traps to stay active, reducing chronic neck and shoulder tension.

• Discreet Comfort: Designed with a low-profile fit, these braces can be worn under or over clothing, making them ideal for the office or long commutes.

• CoolFlex™ and Foam Padding: To ensure you can wear the brace long enough to see results, we prioritize models with extra-thick padded straps that prevent the common "digging" sensation in the armpits.

How to Choose the Right Collarbone Support

Selecting the correct clavicle strap depends on the severity of your condition and your activity level:

1. For Fractures: Choose a brace with wider, foam-padded straps (like the Hely & Weber) to provide the maximum surface area for stabilization and comfort.

2. For Posture: Look for a universal clavicle splint with adjustable D-rings that allow you to easily tighten or loosen the tension throughout the day as your muscles fatigue.

3. For Athletes: Consider a lightweight, breathable collarbone brace for sports that allows for moisture-wicking and heat dissipation during activity.

4. Sizing Tip: Accurate measurement is key. Use a soft tape measure around the widest part of your chest (just below the armpits) to ensure your clavicle brace provides the correct amount of leverage without restricting circulation.
