immobilising the clavicle
Indications
All indications for positioning and immobilisation of the clavicle, such as:
• Dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint
• Sprains and fractures of the clavicle

Contraindications

• Constriction of the airways
• Compression of the vascular nerve bundle
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.
