Instructions For Use
1) Put the sling in your lap with the elbow cuff on the side of the affected arm. Unhook the cuff strap to separate the
elbow cuff and the hand cuff. (Figure 3, shown with affected right arm)
2) Place the unaffected arm through the hand cuff. Then, holding the sling by the O-ring, place it over your head, as
shown above (Figure 4), and place the O-ring between the shoulder blades.
3) Position the elbow cuff so that it is near the elbow. Do not pull or tug on the cuff. Tugging on the cuff will pull the
O-ring off center. (Figure 5)
4) Make sure all four back straps are laying flat. Assistance for the first time will be needed to adjust the back straps
correctly. (Figure 2) Make any necessary adjustments to correct the length of the straps by sliding the straps through
the adjustment buckles. There are four adjustment buckles, one on each of the four straps attached to the O-Ring.
Indications

buckles. The cuff strap is secured with a hook and loop fastener.
