4-Tab Locking Instructions
(Recommended)
FOR MAXIMUM BENEFIT, Lock the 4-Tab of your GivMohr Sling
1. Correctly position GivMohr Sling
2. Position the “unlocked” 4-Tab for optimum comfort and function. AVOID placing 4-Tab on base of the
neck. Greater comfort is typically achieved with the 4-Tab located low on the back (about the level of the
bottom of the shoulder blade).
ALTERNATE POSITION:
Locate the 4-Tab over the lower half of the
shoulder blade of the involved shoulder. AVOID placement over any boney prominence.
3. Lock the 4-Tab in place by snapping the webbing under the locking hooks on ALL 4 SIDES
4.
Re-check the overall fit of the GivMohr Sling and repeat if
needed
Occasionally, lower 4-Tab position can be achieved by shifting
webbing from front to back (see below). To do this, move
anterior buckle toward the 4-Tab, work the extra webbing
through the 4-Tab,
around uninvolved
axilla (readjust axillary
pad position) and
through the 4-Tab again
toward the posterior
buckle. The 4-Tab can
then be moved lower on
the back. This
adjustment can also be
used to relocate the
anterior buckle.
