Vive Arm Sling for Shoulder Injury & Surgery Recovery - Waterproof Mesh Shower Sling Immobilizer for Rotator Cuff Support - Right Left Arm for Men & Women - Stabilize Elbow, Wrist, Thumb, Dislocation

Lightweight yet holds /supports arm while showering.

Used in the shower after rotator cuff surgery to support my arm. Worked perfectly and dried quickly.

I recently had total, reverse shoulder replacement surgery. As anyone who has had shoulder surgery knows, you are required to wear a VERT bulky sling for at least a month. However most surgeons allow showers after a few days provided you hold your operated arm down straight by your side. My dominant arm was operated on and I was afraid I would forget and try to use it in the shower. This lightweight mesh brave was perfect. I felt very safe and very comfortable. It even has a little strap to comfortable keep your arm from sliding forward. Very well made. I wouldn’t be surprised if I use it sometimes in the days right after the surgeon tells me I can stop wearing the monster post-surgical sling. I intend to tell him about it.

Nice. It allows water to rush through while showering

I was allowed to shower 3 days after I was able to take the original bandage off from my rotator cuff surgery. I didn’t want to get my surgical sling wet so I had purchased this mesh sling in advance. It was easy to get on and I strongly recommend using this. You might think you can shower without it but this keeps your arm in place so you don’t accidentally move it wrong while showering or bathing. Dried quickly and washes well.Tips: 1. use a hand towel to dry yourself off. It’s lighter in weight than a bath towel. 2. Get a bidet attachment for your toilet for use on your non-surgical side. Game changer Life saver. 3. Def sleep in a recliner if you can or borrow one. I used one for the full 6 weeks.

I'm a month out from a total shoulder replacement and must wear a sling for 2 more weeks, but am allowed to swim now that my scar is healed. This sling, now that I've sewn a little thumb piece on it so it doesn't slip, is perfect. The water flows through it and it dries fast. Also, when the fancy heavy sling I got from the hospital just gets too darned hot and sweaty, this gives me a cool-off break.Note: it DOES come with an inner strap to hold it in place. But I'm a large woman (the hospital gave me an XL sling,) so that doesn't work for a larger person. It would stay in place just fine for a regular or small person.Also, they had enough sense to put the velcro strap adjustment on the front side of the sling. My fancy $200 hospital sling has the stupid adjustment on the back, so you have to keep taking it on and off to adjust the strap length.If you had to wear this for a long period of time, the strap, which does not have padding, would probably start to dig into your opposite shoulder and neck. But it's perfect for me and a great price.

This product is extremely disappointing. The pictures are completely misleading—there is no neck cushion as advertised. Additionally, the strap is ridiculously short. Even at the very end of the Velcro, it was tight enough to choke me. This might fit a child around 8 years old, but it’s certainly not suitable for an adult. Maybe there was something missing in the package and if so the company clearly has quality control problems. Overall, this is a poorly designed, misrepresented product. Save your money!

I have only been using this for the shower. Holds in the water great. Supports just fine, and allows me to take a shower without having to hold up my arm without one. Enough space for me to wash my arm and isn't tight. The netting is big enough for the water to rinse off without taking it off. Dries quickly afterwards and is fine in the wash I just don't put it in the dryer b/c it dries fast enough to air dry.
