UltraSling III

The Donjoy UltraSling III is a state-of-the-art shoulder immobilizer designed to provide superior post-operative support and patient comfort. Engineered for a range of surgical procedures and injuries, it offers a sophisticated blend of immobilization, adjustability, and innovative features to facilitate a successful healing process.

Primary Clinical Applications

The DonJoy UltraSling III is specifically indicated for immobilization following a variety of shoulder surgeries and injuries. It is ideally suited for post-operative care, including:

• Rotator Cuff Repairs
• Capsular Shift Procedures
• Bankhart Repairs
• Glenohumeral Dislocations and Subluxations
• General Soft Tissue Repairs and Strains

• Patented De-Rotation Strap for Superior Stability: A key differentiator of the DonJoy UltraSling III is its integrated De-Rotation Strap. This crucial component hooks directly onto the main sling body to securely hold the patient’s arm in a neutral position. By effectively preventing internal rotation of the shoulder, it directly addresses the risk of post-operative internal rotation contractures, protecting the surgical repair.
• Enhanced Patient Comfort with Breathable Fabric: Designed with the user’s comfort in mind, especially for longer-term use, the sling incorporates a advanced moisture-wicking mesh fabric. This material pulls perspiration away from the skin, keeping the patient drier and more comfortable. Furthermore, this mesh promotes auxiliary air exchange around the shoulder and underarm, which is critical for maintaining skin health and helping to reduce the risk of secondary infections.
• Promotes Rehabilitation and Offers Positioning Flexibility: The UltraSling III is designed to support the recovery journey, not just immobilize.
• Easy-Open Front Panel: A convenient front panel encourages and allows for prescribed forearm and hand exercises without requiring the complete removal of the sling, promoting early-stage movement and reducing stiffness.
• Adjustable Arm Positioning: The sling allows the arm to be positioned in a variety of orientations—either more posterior or anterior—depending on the specific requirements of the patient’s post-operative protocol. This ensures the sling can be tailored to meet exact surgical needs.
• User-Friendly Design for Easy Application: Recognizing the challenges patients face one-handed, the UltraSling III is built with practicality.
• Quick-Release Buckles: These buckles make donning and doffing the sling a simple, one-handed process. This ease of use is essential for maintaining independence and is particularly beneficial when it is time to remove the sling for prescribed physical therapy sessions or hygiene.
• UltraSling III AB Version for Abduction Requirements: For procedures requiring a specific angle of shoulder abduction, the UltraSling III AB version is available.

This model includes a large, comfortable abduction pillow that can be set to either 45° or 60°, providing greater abduction where clinically required for optimal healing conditions.

In summary, the Donjoy UltraSling III is more than just a sling; it is a comprehensive immobilization system that prioritizes clinical efficacy, patient compliance, and comfort throughout the recovery period. Its thoughtful design addresses the key concerns of surgeons and patients alike, from preventing complications to encouraging rehabilitation.
