UltraSling Quadrant Shoulder Brace

After a rotator cuff repair, Bankart procedure, or shoulder dislocation, the arm has to be held at a precise angle to protect the surgical work while the tissue heals. That's the job the UltraSling Quadrant does. It holds the shoulder in a set degree of abduction and external rotation — the "quadrant" position surgeons often prescribe following labral and capsular repairs — rather than simply cradling the arm against the body like a standard sling.

We carry the DonJoy UltraSling Quadrant Shoulder Brace for the left shoulder in black, featuring TempGuard technology (model 11-0211). TempGuard uses moisture-wicking, breathable material against the skin, which matters when a brace is worn nearly around the clock for several weeks. The abduction pillow positions the arm at the angle your surgeon specifies, and the padded straps distribute weight across the back and shoulder to reduce neck fatigue during extended wear.

A few things buyers commonly ask: this is a left-shoulder configuration, so confirm which side you need before ordering. Sizing typically follows chest or torso measurement and forearm length — check the DonJoy sizing guidance and your clinician's recommendation, since a brace that doesn't hold the prescribed angle defeats its purpose. The pillow and straps are adjustable to fine-tune fit as swelling changes in the early recovery weeks.

Wear duration and the abduction angle are set by your surgeon based on the procedure and how healing progresses — this brace is a post-operative recovery device, not something to self-prescribe.
