What is it and what is it used for? The 3M Futuro One-Size Arm Sling is an orthopedic device made of padded, breathable material. It is designed to provide maximum comfort to the arm. Its function is to immobilize an injured limb to promote recovery and prevent further injury. Every part of this arm sling is designed to protect the arm and prevent any discomfort, which is why it features a padded holster. In this holster, the arm rests on an ergonomic support that adapts to the limbs shape and allows the skin to breathe properly. All of this is designed to prevent excessive sweating that can occur when the arm is in the holster for extended periods. The strap that secures the holster to the shoulder features a padded cushion to reduce pressure from the weight of the arm. It can also be adjusted for maximum comfort. The strap includes an adjustable piece for shortening or lengthening and ends with a quick-release buckle. Also, on the part of the holster where the hand rests, there is a loop for suspending the thumb. This is intended to reduce fatigue caused by suspending part of the hand in the air. Who is it for?
