Fitting instructions
the medi SAS 45 is supplied in a single
universal size and has two options for
use, providing either 45° or 30° of
abduction.
• Loosen all the straps including the
hand section.
• Place the cushion on the hip of the
affected side and lay the shoulder
strap over the opposite shoulder.
Fasten the straps to the cushion with
the Velcro strip, first the back and then
the front. Attach one end of the hip
belt to the front of the cushion.
• Now secure the hand rest to the top of
the cushion with the Velcro.
• Attach the two forearm straps to the
45
hand rest, and secure the upper arm
®
strap to the cushion slightly obliquely.
The upper arm strap prevents the arm
slipping backwards.
• Slip your arm into the sling and fasten
all the Velcro strips. Make sure that the
straps are not fastened too tightly.
Simply rotate the cushion to select 45°
or 30° abduction.
Note: Make sure that the head of the
humerus is not pushed upwards when
the upper arm is resting on the cushion.
