ABSTRACT:
A longitudinally symmetric arm sling for supporting a forearm of a person has first and second substantially identical panel sections which are sewn to each other so that the sections define a trough with a closed aft end and an open front end into which the arm can be placed. A single strap has a first end attached to the aft end of the panel sections and a second end attached to the front end of the panel sections so that portions of the strap and of the panel sections adjacent the front end define opposing openings into which a thumb can be extended irrespective of whether the sling is worn on a right arm or a left arm. The strip is relatively wide and sewn to the panel sections so that wide sides of the strip are parallel to the panel sections. The sling and the strap are constructed of a relatively soft, stretchable material. A buckle can be provided to make the strap length adjustable.
