Choosing the Best Shoulder Brace

Neoprene

Our standard shoulder brace and shoulder ice pack both use neoprene for it’s lightweight durability. Since both of these braces try to retain some range of motion, the flexibility of neoprene is the perfect asset. As a plus, it also helps wick away moisture and deliver continuous airflow to the entire region.

Polyester

Polyester is the ideal material for our shoulder compression ice pack, since it is highly durable and can withstand repetitive stress. The material’s hydrophobic coating lets you use it in damp environments, and it also repels sweat and condensation for your comfort.

Nylon

We use nylon in each of our slings because it does a great job of cradling the arms while minimizing weight and bulk. When combined with spandex in our shoulder abduction sling it can easily contour to the body for a snug fit that provides plenty of support.

Nylon Mesh

Our nylon mesh fabric is used in our shoulder arm sling for added breathability. By allowing airflow over the arm, the sling is able to enhance comfort and prevent overheating and sweating.

Wrap

Our wrap braces are designed to hug the contours of your shoulder to deliver mild to moderate support and compression, while restricting your range of motion. They open fully to accommodate limited mobility along with swelling and inflammation. Wear them over or under clothes (on either shoulder) and fasten with straps across the bicep and chest.

Sling

Our shoulder sling arm supports are designed to bear the weight of your arm and prevent fatigue over long-term recovery. It includes a thumb loop to position the hand in a neutral posture that ensures correct placement.

We offer two different sling braces, the standard arm sling design and abduction sling, which offer varying levels of support. They are each made primarily of nylon for lightweight durability, and include interior pockets to hold personal belongings.

Stabilizer

Most of our shoulder braces focus on stabilizing the joint by reducing the wearer’s range of motion, but still retaining plenty of flexibility. Stabilizing braces offer mild to moderate support and are easier to wear throughout the day. This makes them ideal for minor injuries or those further along in the recovery process.

Immobilizer

Our shoulder abduction sling features an immobilization design which holds the injured arm firmly in place to promote healing. An included abdominal pillow contours to the body and helps keep the arm immobilized at a 15 degree angle away from the body. It is made of high density foam and is removable for washing.

Mild

Choose a mild support brace for minor injuries or ones that are further along in the recovery process. They allow for a controlled range of motion that will still let you enjoy most of your day-to-day activities. Our standard shoulder brace and arm sling are good examples, while both of our shoulder ice packs can be adjusted for mild compression.

Moderate

If you find you need a bit of extra support and compression, simply adjust the straps on any of our wrap style braces for moderate stability. Since our shoulder braces are so versatile, they are a good option for anything from sports to arthritis.

Maximum

For the most serious shoulder injuries take advantage of one of our maximum support braces. They are designed to keep the joint in place with a series of straps and supports. Some, like our abduction sling, immobilize the joint completely to prioritize healing post surgery or for dislocations and soft tissue strains.

For more adjustable support, check out our newest Shoulder Support Brace. It’s designed with an extra built in strap over the shoulder blade that can be adjusted for greater compression and stability.

Extender Straps

Both the Shoulder Brace and Shoulder Support Brace come with an additional extender strap to accommodate larger chest sizes.

Hot and Cold Packs

Our shoulder compression ice pack and standard shoulder ice pack add an Arctic Flex gel pack for hot or cold therapy. It's a hands-free way to soothe your joint, and can be removed when needed.

Compression Hand Pump

Our compression ice pack includes a hand pump with release valve, making it easy to inflate and deflate the interior air bladder for adjustable compression. Simply release the valve to let the air out. You can remove the pump while wearing the brace, or securely attach it with a discreet Velcro strap.

Exercise Balls

Our shoulder abduction sling includes a foam exercise ball which helps encourage blood circulation and reduce swelling during recovery. It’s a simple way to activate hand, wrist and forearm muscles during recovery.
