Comfortable Support During Arm and Shoulder Recovery
The Actimove Professional Line Mitella Comfort Arm Sling is designed to support the arm, elbow, and shoulder while limiting movement that may increase pain or interfere with recovery. The forearm rests inside a supportive pocket while the shoulder strap maintains the arm in a comfortable position close to the body.
Supports the Shoulder While Limiting Elbow Movement
The sling helps stabilize the shoulder joint while keeping the elbow flexed inside the pocket. Limiting the arm’s range of motion can help reduce discomfort following injury, surgery, or other conditions where movement needs to be controlled.
Wide Strap Helps Reduce Neck Pressure
A narrow sling strap can create uncomfortable pressure around the neck during extended wear. The Mitella Comfort uses a wide, stable shoulder strap to distribute pressure more comfortably, eliminating the need for a separate neck pad.
Thumb Loop Helps Control Forearm Rotation
The soft thumb loop helps hold the forearm in a supported position and limits unwanted rotation of the arm. The fingers remain free so the hand can continue to move comfortably during wear.
Easy to Adjust with One Hand
The open-and-close arm pocket and hook-and-loop Y-Tab are designed to make the sling easier to put on, adjust, and remove using the unaffected hand. This can be particularly helpful when the injured arm should remain supported during fitting.
How to Put On the Mitella Comfort
- Slide the affected arm into the sling pocket and position the elbow at the end of the pocket.
- Using your free hand, bring the shoulder strap around your neck.
- Pass the strap through the O-Ring.
- Adjust the strap and secure the hook-and-loop fastening so the arm is supported at approximately a 90-degree angle.
- Place the thumb through the soft thumb loop for additional forearm support.
- Make sure the arm feels comfortably supported without excessive pressure around the neck or shoulder.
Fracture and Injury Support
Actimove recommends the Mitella Comfort for fracture management involving areas such as the clavicle, scapula, humerus, and greater tuberosity. It can also provide temporary stabilization following shoulder sprains, dislocations, and other injuries.
Post-Operative Support
The sling may be used as part of post-operative care when the shoulder and arm need to remain supported and movement should be limited. Actimove specifically lists post-operative care following conditions such as rotator cuff rupture among its intended uses.
Support While Wearing a Cast or Splint
The Mitella Comfort can support the weight of the arm while a cast or splint is being worn. The breathable pocket and wide shoulder strap help make the sling more comfortable during longer periods of use.
Additional Uses
- Fracture management
- Post-operative recovery
- Shoulder sprains and joint distortions
- Shoulder and related joint dislocations
- Inflammatory shoulder conditions
- Minor shoulder instability
- Support while wearing a cast or splint
- Support for hemiplegic patients
- Temporary arm stabilization in emergency or paramedic care
Convenient for Follow-Up X-Rays
The Mitella Comfort does not need to be removed for follow-up x-ray examinations. This helps keep an injured arm supported and minimizes unnecessary repositioning during imaging.
