Humeral Stabilising Orthosis

It can be hard to find an orthosis that provides adequate stabilisation without it being uncomfortable. The Humeral Stabilising Orthosis is a unique, lightweight, comfortable humeral sleeve with a ventilated, skin-friendly protective lining.

Is This Upper Arm Orthosis Easy To Alter?

Sizing Information

This humeral stabilising orthosis is supplied in a universal size that will fit the majority of users. The adjustable straps and trimmable sleeve make its sizing extremely versatile. 

What Are the Advantages of Using an Orthosis Over a Cast?

Casts offer the highest level of immobilisation, this comes with a cost though. The time, energy and money required to attend regular hospital appointments to get your cast changed can be prohibitive. An orthosis is a solution that provides excellent value for money while still providing good stabilisation.

Casts also have the downside of being uncomfortable, itchy and unhygienic. Being able to remove your orthosis to scratch an itch, wash your arm or just allow your skin to get some fresh air can be extremely relieving, especially with long-term injuries and conditions.

Indications of the Humeral Stabilising Orthosis

This orthotic device is ideal for:

• Humeral Fractures
• Humeral Breaks
• Shoulder Dislocations

How Much Does An Orthosis Help Healing? 

In a study done by the University of Miami, 98% of patients who used a humeral orthosis to treat a fracture had minimal limitation of shoulder motion. In addition, 87% of patients healed with minimal bone angulation (the difference of bone angles where the fracture has healed). In conclusion, humeral bracing using an orthosis has been shown to be extremely effective at helping the healing process.
