Shoulder support with movement-limiting function
Omomed is a shoulder joint support. The product is exclusively to be used for the orthotic fitting of the shoulder and only on intact skin.
Product features
Limitation and prevention of injurious movements thanks to the adjustable, marked limitation of external rotation, abduction and anteflexion of the shoulder joint
The elastic knit exerts gentle local compression on the superficial soft-tissues to limit and counteract swelling and reduce muscular tension
Corrects postural deficits in the shoulder with accurate centring of the head of the humerus in the glenoid cavity and easing of shoulder pain
Indications
Conservative/post-operative after proximal humeral head, scapula or glenoid fractures and AC joint dislocations
Conservative with anterior shoulder luxation and chronic anterior subluxation as well as painful omarthrosis
Post-operative after shoulder stabilisations, rotator interval reconstruction, refixation of the biceps tendon anchor
Contraindications
Conservative and postoperative treatment of posterior shoulder luxation
