Please read all warnings and instructions 

before use. Correct application is essential for 

proper product function and to reduce the risk of 

injury or re-injury inherent with the use of any brace.

The DeRoyal

injuries to the arm, wrist or hand, acromioclaviclular 

sprains, and anterior glenohumeral dislocations.

CAUTIONS

•   A physician or properly licensed practitioner (a 

“prescriber”) who is familiar with the use and 

purpose of this brace must fit it to the user.  

The prescriber has a duty to provide wearing 

instructions and risks related to the use of this 

brace to other healthcare practitioners treating 

the users and the users themselves, including 

duration of use. The instructions provided in this 

sheet do not supersede hospital protocol or direct 

orders of the prescriber. Use only as directed.

•   Prolonged usage can result in muscle atrophy 

in the user. The user may require (1) a weaning 

period from the brace to build muscle strength 

(2) regular physical therapy exercises to maintain 

the strength of the shoulder (3) a limitation on 

duration of use or (4) some combination of these. 

•   Inspect brace for damaged or missing 

components before use.

•   Discontinue use and consult your prescriber if 

the brace or its components break or become 

damaged.

•   Inspect the fit of the brace on the patient to 

ensure fit is proper. 

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

  

Check regularly to ensure circulation is not 

compromised.

•   Consult your prescriber immediately if you 

experience sensation changes, unusual reactions, 

swelling or increased pain while using this brace.  

Discontinue use if pressure injuries develop.

•   Wear clothing underneath this brace.

•   Take special care if the user is diabetic or 

has poor circulation.  These users may have 

decreased skin sensitivity and are at greater 

risk for poor peripheral circulation and pressure 

injuries.
