Orthotic Braces

This product is intended for external use only and is to be worn as instructed by a health care professional. This product is intended to protect an injured or surgically repaired shoulder and to assist in the healing and rehabilitative process associated therewith. This product is intended to be fitted by a certified orthotist and is to be modified thereafter only in accordance with a physician’s instructions. Any use, including wear, other than as instructed to protect and/or heal a shoulder, is unsafe and must be avoided.

Potential Hazards – This product has a potential pinch point (PP) that will rest under the injured shoulder. This PP is the bracket system that has a locking handle on a screwed pin and is secured with a washer and nut. The locking handle should be toward the wearer’s front, so that it may be engaged and released using the wearer’s uninjured arm (an injured L or R shoulder may require reversal of the locking handle; to reverse, simply remove the nut and washer, pull the pin through the assembly, insert through the other side, and reattach the washer and nut to medically-required tightness). The bracket system is designed to be adjustable so that the wearer can achieve the medically directed positioning and restriction of movement to optimally heal and rehabilitate the injured or surgically repaired shoulder.
