Micro Ventilated Arm Sling (1)

An arm sling holds the forearm across the body and takes the weight of the arm off the shoulder and elbow, keeping it still and supported. This one is built from a light, micro-ventilated mesh, so air moves through the fabric while the arm is rested. It comes in four sizes and fits either the left or right arm.

A sling is usually worn on the advice of a doctor or physiotherapist, so follow their guidance on whether to wear one, and for how long. The job of this sling is simple: hold the arm in a settled position and keep it there without much fuss. The mesh body is the point of difference, letting air pass through so the fabric sits lighter against the skin over a long wear.

The strap adjusts, so the height of the arm can be set to sit comfortably. It is a bilateral design, which means the same sling works on either arm rather than being handed. The whole sling is hand washable, and each pack holds one sling, in white.

Four sizes cover different frames, numbered 1 to 4. If you are between sizes, or you are not sure how to measure for the right fit, call the team or come in before you order rather than guess. Straptor is Australian owned and run, and stocks this sling alongside the strapping tape, braces and recovery gear a club or trainer reaches for, with phone advice from people who know the range and a walk-in counter in East Bendigo.

Common questions

Which arm does it fit? Either. The bilateral design means the same sling works on the left or the right arm.
