The brace is used to fix the shoulder and upper arm area after dislocation, fracture or AC joint dislocation. It can be applied directly after trauma or postoperatively. On the healthy shoulder, the bandage is divided to distribute the load of the arm on it. The support consists of a permanently elastic tricot tube, to which a stabilizing shoulder pad is attached. Velcro fasteners are used to fix the ends. The inside of the bandage is covered with terry cloth. The bandage can be washed at max. 60°C during the wearing time with closed Velcro fasteners.
