Brownmed - Joslin Sling Ultimate Arm Sling - Arm Sling for Men & Women to Support Shoulder, Elbow, or Wrist Injury - Arm Immobilizer, Shoulder Stabilizer & Rotator Cuff Support - Pro 3 XL

First, to all of the naysayers complaining about it not being a full sling: please read the whole product description. Don't give a bad review simply because you focused on the picture instead of the text the makes up the description!Anyway, my Mother had to undergo a shoulder replacement procedure back in December. In January, somehow the internal stitches tore, and they had to to a repair. The Doc warned that she was to keep the arm as immobile as possible so that no further tears occured.My Mother, while I love her dearly, is not always the best of most reliant when it comes to following Doctor's orders. She was scared to death after the second surgery, though, because she was told that if a tear occured following this surgery, they would have to do a reverse-shoulder operation.So, I went on a search to help with my Mother's recovery. I found this product, and it has worked WONDERS for her! She says that it is not only comfortable, but also quite effective. It may just simply be an exercise in psychology, but having that immobilizer strap at the very least serves as a reminder to NOT MOVE HER ARM! LOL!Whatever the case, Mom is using it on a constant basis (a small miracle in itself!), and it is working as intended. Remember people, this is NOT a complete sling! It's just the strap!When her ortho Doc saw the whole thing (I bought the "matching" sling as well), he was very impressed with the quality, and the effectiveness of it.For those people whom are convelescing, and to do so need to keep an arm or shoulder in place, this product is great. It has won over my Mom's VERY jaded view of all things mecial-related (White-coat syndrome), which speaks volumes about the product!
