Shoulder Products We Carry

Who Needs a Shoulder Brace or Sling?

• Post-surgical recovery from rotator cuff repair, labrum repair, or shoulder replacement
• Shoulder dislocations requiring immobilization during healing
• Shoulder fractures (proximal humerus, clavicle) needing support
• AC joint injuries (acromioclavicular separation)
• Patients needing abduction positioning to protect a surgical repair
• Anyone managing shoulder pain, swelling, or inflammation with cold therapy

Sling vs. Abduction Brace — What’s the Difference?

• Shoulder sling: Supports the arm close to the body in a neutral position. Used for general immobilization, fractures, and minor injuries.
• Shoulder abduction brace: Holds the arm away from the body at a specific angle. Used post-surgically to protect rotator cuff repairs and labrum repairs where the arm must be kept in abduction.

Cold Therapy for Shoulder Recovery

The eLife Shoulder Cold Therapy Compression Wrap is designed to conform to the shoulder’s complex anatomy, delivering targeted cold and compression simultaneously — reducing post-surgical swelling, bruising, and pain without the mess of loose ice packs.

Shoulder braces and abduction slings are medical devices. Always follow your surgeon’s or physical therapist’s instructions on positioning, duration of use, and range-of-motion protocols. OrthoTape is an authorized dealer of Ossur, DeRoyal, and eLife products.
