ABSTRACT:
An improved sling for maintaining a patient's hand in an elevated position while permitting substantially unrestrained mobility of the patient's shoulder consists essentially of an arm strap wrappable about the patient's upper arm and lower arm to form a loop with overlapping end portions having surfaces which face each other. These overlapping, facing surfaces are provided with removable adhesive material, such as hook-and-loop material so as to form (when the elbow is bent) an arm loop of adjustable length to establish the bend of the patient's elbow and elevation of the patient's hand. A palm band (or hand loop) for receiving and locating the patient's hand in predetermined position is fixed to one end portion of the arm strap, the latter having a length and width matched to the size of the patient's arm.
