How It Works — Positioning and Use (heading) To wear, place your arm in the open-wrap sleeve and fasten the chest and waist straps. The cross-back Y-belt stabilizes the shoulder without pulling or pinching. Flip or adjust the trapezoid cushion to switch between 30° and 45° abduction for the correct healing angle. The hand ball is mounted on an inclined surface; distance to the hand is adjustable by sliding the splint along its guide and securing with the hook-and-loop fasteners. This combination provides immobilization where needed while allowing gentle movement to support circulation. Benefits of Using the Velpeau Shoulder Abduction Sling (heading)
