How to Use an Arm Sling:

1. Place the injured arm in the pouch or cradle of the sling.
2. Adjust the straps so that the arm is bent at a 90-degree angle, with the elbow resting comfortably.
3. Ensure the sling fits snugly but doesn’t cut into the neck or shoulder.
4. Use any additional straps (if provided) for extra immobilization.

An Arm Sling is a simple yet effective tool for managing arm and shoulder injuries, ensuring comfort and promoting recovery. Always consult a healthcare provider to ensure the proper sling type and usage for your specific condition.
