Variteks 315 Breathable Mesh Arm Sling

The Variteks 315 breathable arm sling supports immobilisation and stabilisation of the forearm and elbow. It holds the arm in an appropriate position and limits unwanted movement during recovery.

The main section is made from lightweight mesh material that allows air to circulate freely. The ventilated construction provides greater comfort during extended wear and makes the sling suitable for every season, including the warmer summer months.

The adjustable strap passes over the opposite shoulder and allows the height and position of the arm to be changed. The specially designed buckle can be released with one hand, making it easier for the user to apply or remove the sling independently.

Variteks 315 may be used following injuries, sprains and fractures of the forearm or elbow. The design is suitable for either the left or right arm. The price is for one piece.

Size selection and use

Select the size according to the manufacturer’s sizing chart. The correct size should support the forearm and elbow evenly without compressing the arm or restricting circulation.

Place the arm inside the sling with the elbow positioned at the rear and the forearm evenly supported. Pass the strap over the opposite shoulder and adjust its length until the arm is held in a comfortable position.

After application, check the fingers for numbness, swelling, discolouration or unusual coldness. If any of these symptoms occur, loosen the strap and seek medical advice.

For fractures, serious injuries or postoperative conditions, use the sling according to the instructions of a healthcare professional. Follow the manufacturer’s directions regarding washing and product care.
