medi SAS 45 shoulder support
- Easy to put on and take off
- Early function aftercare
- Enables forearm exercises
Description
medi SAS® 45 is a shoulder support for relief of the shoulder in a splayed position (abduction). The angle of abduction can be set at 30 degrees or 45 degrees abduction. Furthermore, the support can be used for either the left or the right shoulder with a simple modification. An anatomically pre-moulded pad ensures stable positioning and immobilisation of the joint. Backward movements (posterior) are prevented by the shoulder support.
Immobilisation or fixation of the joint in 45- or 30 degrees abduction serves to protect and relieve the shoulder. In doing so, the ergonomically designed hand rest ensures optimal comfort. The positioning reduces the pressure in the subacromial space, the region between the top of the shoulder and the head of the humerus. The immobilisation can prevent pain on movement in the shoulder.A further benefit: the upper and forearm straps of the shoulder support medi SAS® 45 are simple to open, so the user can put it on and take it off independantly. This also simplifies aftercare.
medi SAS® 45 is a medical device that is practical to put on and take off whilst being comfortable to wear, while the ring straps help to reduce tension in the shoulder and neck area
