fracture brace
Intended purpose
medi Humeral fracture brace is a
shoulder joint support for immobilising
the shoulder in a defined position.
Indications
All indications where immobilization of
the shoulder joint in a defined position is
necessary, such as:
• Treatment of proximal humeral
fractures (conservative, postoperative)
Contraindications
• Fracture-dislocations
• Open fractures
• Fractures with concomitant vascular
injury
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.
