medi SAS
comfort
Intended Purpose
The medi SAS comfort is a shoulder joint
support for immobilisation and stress
relief.
Indications
All indications requiring immobilization
of the shoulder joint in abduction such
as:
• After rotator cuff repair
• Humeral head fractures (nonsurgical,
postoperative)
• After insertion of shoulder prosthesis
• After stabilization of acromioclavicular
joint dislocations
• After biceps tenodesis
• Impingement syndrome (nonsurgical,
postoperative)
Contraindications
All indications that specifically require
external rotation or internal rotation or
an abduction of more than 15°.
Risks / Side Effects
If the aids are too tight, this can cause
local pressure sores or constriction of
blood vessels or nerves. Therefore you
should consult the doctor treating you
before you use it if the following
circumstances apply to you:
• Condition or injury of the skin in the
area of application, particularly with
infectious indications (excessive heat,
swelling or reddening)
• Paraesthesia and circulatory disorders
(e.g. as seen in diabetes, varicose veins)
• Lymph drainage disorders – equally,
swelling of soft tissue adjacent to the
area of application which is not related
to a condition
®
When wearing snug-fitting aids, this can
result in localised skin inflammation or
irritation that is due to mechanical
irritation of the skin (particularly in
conjunction with sweating) or due to the
composition of the material.
Intended patient groups
Healthcare professionals should provide
care to the adults and children, applying
the available information on the
measurements/sizes and necessary
functions/indications and in line with
the information provided by the
manufacturer, and acting under their
own responsibility.
Fitting instructions
The orthosis is normally fitted for the
first time in the operating theatre
It should be put on and taken off on a
table wherever possible. Please pay
attention to the following tips:
The snap fasteners on the front of the
cushion should be opened. The shoulder
strap already lies on the table.
1. Place the arm that has been operated
on in the open pocket (Fig. 1).
2. Now close the pocket (Fig. 2).
3. Pass the waist strap around your back
and close the snap fastener.
(Fig. 3)
4. Guide the uninjured arm through
the loop and pull the belt over the
shoulder as you would with a
rucksack. Lock the buckle clip.

5. In order to prevent the arm from
slipping out, please attach the
additional hook and loop fastening.

If you have the feeling during the night
that the arm or shoulder is not securely
positioned, you can put a pillow under
the brace or you can tighten the strap
around the waist.
