Actimove Sling 1.5m

This is an arm sling that holds and rests the arm, giving vertical support across the collarbone and upper limb. It works off a single padded strap with a Y-tab hook closure, so you set the fit and trim the strap to the length you need. It comes as one length in a single blue colourway.

The Actimove arm sling is built around a padded strap and a Y-tab hook system, which set where the strap sits and how much it takes the weight of the arm. It's a strap-style sling rather than a full pouch, so it rests the arm in a flexed position and limits how far the shoulder and elbow move while it's worn. The strap is 50mm wide and 1.5m long, and it trims to length, so the fit works across a range of body sizes.

A sling rests and supports the arm; it does not fix what sits underneath. A fresh, painful, or undiagnosed arm or shoulder problem is one to take to a doctor or physiotherapist, who can tell you whether a sling suits it and how long to wear it. Follow the fitting and wear guidance that comes with the product.

Straptor is Australian owned and run, with phone advice from people who work with the braces and supports range and a walk-in store in East Bendigo. The sling sits alongside the other arm supports and the strapping range on the same site, so you can weigh your options in one place.

Usage

Fit the padded strap so it carries the weight of the arm with the elbow bent, then set the Y-tab hook closure to hold that position. Trim the strap to length if it is longer than you need. Because the right fit and wear time depend on what you are managing, follow the guidance that comes with the sling, and check with a doctor or physiotherapist if you are unsure whether it suits your situation.

Common questions

What does it do? It is a strap-style arm sling that rests the arm and gives vertical support across the collarbone and upper limb. It holds the arm in a bent position and limits how far the shoulder and elbow move while it is on.

Is there one size? It comes as a single 50mm by 1.5m strap that trims to length, so one unit covers a range of body sizes.

Should I check with someone first? If the arm or shoulder is freshly hurt, painful, or undiagnosed, see a doctor or physiotherapist before you rely on a sling. They can tell you whether it suits the problem and how long to wear it.

What colour is it? It comes in blue only.
