English
medi Easy sling
Intended purpose
The medi Easy sling is a shoulder joint
orthosis for immobilization in internal
rotation.
Indications
All indications requiring immobilization
of the shoulder joint in internal rotation,
such as:
• Nonsurgical treatment after anterior
shoulder dislocation and /or chronic
subluxation
• After rotator cuff repair
• Acromioclavicular joint dislocation
(nonsurgical, postoperative)
• Scapula fractures (nonsurgical,
postoperative)
• Proximal fractures of the humerus
head (nonsurgical, postoperative)
Contraindications
All indications that specifically require
abduction and/ or external rotation.
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.
