How Do You Use an Elbow Sling?

To use an elbow sling, you need to support your arm, slide the support along your forearm and over your elbow, and gently push your elbow back into the corner of the support near your wrist.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1. Support Your Arm: Begin by supporting your injured arm with your uninjured arm to prevent further strain.

2. Position the Sling: Slide the arm support along your forearm, ensuring it covers the area from your wrist to slightly beyond your elbow.

3. Secure the Elbow: Gently push your elbow backward into the corner of the arm support, positioning it snugly. This provides stability and restricts movement.
