In our shoulder brace collection, you will find a range of categories including Clavicle supports, Magnetic Braces, Pediatric supports, Shoulder immobilizers, and shoulder slings. The type of shoulder brace to choose depends on the injury sustained.

Shoulder injuries are very common among individuals participating in strenuous sport like hockey, basketball, rugby, swimming, gymnastics, among others. The following is a breakdown of our most recommended shoulder braces categorized by injury type.

Dislocations – The shoulder joint that comprises a ‘ball and socket’ where the scapula and humerus meet is one of the most important in the human body. Unlike most joints in the body, the shoulder joint allows movement in many directions. However, it is also the most susceptible to dislocation injuries. Shoulder dislocations are common in sport activities that involve body contact at high speed impact. Recommended braces for shoulder dislocation in the SOS Medical store include the ProCare Heavy Padded Clavicle Support, ProCare Padded Clavicle Strap, ProCare Contoured Clavicle Support, and the ProCare Universal Clavicle Support, among others.

Arthritis – Osteoarthritis is a form of arthritis that results from prolonged wear and tear of cartilage. Cartilage helps protect the surface of the bones in a joint. Osteoarthritis is common in middle age and mainly affects the acromioclavicular joint in the shoulder. This condition is movement restricting and can cause severe pain. Using our shoulder immobilizers helps to keep the acromioclavicular joint in place during recovery while not restricting movement of other parts of the shoulder. Our range of immobilizers includes the DonJoy Lerman Shoulder Orthosis, MacDavid Lightweight Shoulder Support, ProCare Deluxe Sling Swathe, DonJoy Quadrant Shoulder, and many more.

Loose shoulder joint – This condition, also known as shoulder instability, occurs when the components of the shoulder joint are not tight enough, allowing the shoulder to swing freely inside the socket. If not properly handled, it may lead to dislocations. Shoulder braces in our collection that are recommended in this condition include the ProCare Sling and Swathe, ProCare Quick Release Arm Swing, DonJoy Ultra Sling III ER Arm Sling, and many more.

Injury of the rotator cuff tendons is another common shoulder injury that can be caused by myriad things, including wear and tear, aging, tearing of the tendons, and many more. Our specialized shoulder braces that cater to patients with this injury help to reduce pain and assist in faster recovery. From our collection, the recommended shoulder braces for this type of injury include shoulder wraps, ProCare Ultrasling shoulder brace, ProCare UltraSling III, and many more.
