{"title":"Slingshot","description":"\u003ch1\u003eSlingShot Shoulder Immobilizers\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter rotator cuff surgery, a shoulder dislocation, or a Bankart repair, holding the arm in the position your surgeon prescribed is what protects the healing tissue — and that's exactly what the \u003cstrong\u003eSlingShot shoulder immobilizer\u003c\/strong\u003e is built to do. This collection focuses on abduction-style immobilizers that keep the arm supported at a controlled angle away from the body, taking tension off the repaired joint while you recover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSlingShot 2\u003c\/strong\u003e features a breathable Airmesh construction that stays cooler and lighter against the skin than solid foam supports, which matters when you're wearing it around the clock for weeks. The design accommodates either the left or right arm, so there's no need to specify a side when ordering, and the medium size fits a forearm length of roughly 13-1\/2 to 14-1\/2 inches. An adjustable strap system lets you fine-tune the fit as swelling changes through recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuyers often ask how these differ from a standard arm sling. A basic sling simply cradles the forearm; an immobilizer like the SlingShot holds the shoulder in a specific, restricted position to prevent the movements that could compromise a surgical repair. If your provider has only asked you to rest a strain, a lighter option may be enough — but for post-operative or post-injury immobilization, this level of support is the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo confirm sizing, measure forearm length from the elbow to the base of the fingers, and follow your surgeon's guidance on wearing schedule and abduction angle.
