AliMed^® Hemi-Shoulder Sling

AliMed® Hemi-Shoulder Sling helps to reduce shoulder subluxation. Arm weight alone can contribute to painful subluxation during the rehabilitation of conditions such as CVA, post-humeral fracture, brachial plexus injury, and shoulder-girdle weakness/flaccidity. Conventional slings lack the ability to adequately offload the humeral joint while retaining ROM and prevent potential contracture. The AliMed Hemi-Shoulder Sling uses a shoulder saddle to offload the shoulder and humeral joint subluxing forces and transfer the weight of the arm to the scapula while allowing full ROM of the arm and maintaining stability and distraction. The gusseted inside panel fully adjusts to fluctuations in edema and aids with donning/doffing, and the three fully adjustable fixation straps allow for correction of muscle imbalance and internal or external rotation as needed. Biceps-triceps belly-band locks cuff in place for security. Wear over or under clothing. Available in Left or Right and four sizes.

Shoulder saddle: High-density polyethylene and Plastazote® foam • Cuff: Polyester foam laminated to hook-receptive polyester fabric • Adjustable hook-and-loop straps

The GivMohr Sling is a patented positioning device for flaccid upper extremities and was developed in a collaborative effort between Victoria Givler, OTR, and Paul Mohr, PT, in response to the lack of effective arm support devices for clients with neurological diagnoses presenting with flaccid arm. The GivMohr Sling can help individuals who are ambulatory or potentially ambulatory.
