Some questions about the Arm Sling
The arm is an easy part of the body, and in the event of an arm injury, doctors recommend that we use an arm sling to immobilize the arm. We all have many questions about arm slings. The following three questions are the three most frequently asked questions about arm slings.
How long should your arm stay in the sling?
It is very important to wear the sling as directed by your surgeon after surgery. The sling is usually used for four to six weeks after surgery. Exactly when you can remove the arm sling depends on the extent of the injury and according to your doctor's instructions.
What injury needs an arm sling?
After you have injured your shoulder, elbow or wrist, you may need to wear an arm sling to promote healing. A shoulder sling keeps your arm close to your body and prevents you from moving it excessively as it heals.
Can I take my sling off to shower?
Do not normally remove the arm sling while sleeping. Only remove the sling when you are doing rehab or bathing.
