1. Release waist belt on cushion and forearm strap (ii) on sling. Unfasten the
shoulder strap (iii) by releasing the quick release buckles at the front of
sling (Fig. A).
2. Place the large pillow under the affected area with the 45° angle facing
up. Attach the sling to the cushion. Align the hook and loop strip and
attach to buckle at the front of pillow (fig B). Adjust strap and trim as
necessary for proper fit.
3. Place forearm into the sling with arm as far back as possible in the sling
(Fig. C). Secure thumb strap (i) between the thumb and forefinger at front
of sling. Secure forearm strap (ii) to sling and cushion (Fig. D).
4. Using your free arm, reach behind your body and slip arm through
shoulder straps B and C (Fig. E). This motion is similar to putting on a
backpack. One strap should be over the unaffected shoulder (clavicular
area) and the other under the arm (straps B&C). Adjust and trim both
straps for a proper fit.
5. Adjust shoulder strap A through O-ring on front of sling. Adjust ALL straps
for adequate stabilization of injured shoulder (Fig. F). Remove Y-tabs on
strap ends and trim as needed. Replace Y-tabs and secure straps.

Unfasten one end of auxilla strap (note: the auxilla strap Wcan be removed
if desired). The auxilla strap is strap C for the right arm and strap B for the
left arm. Bring shoulder strap over the unaffected shoulder. Attach the quick
release buckles to the sling. Bring auxilla (underarm) strap under the arm
and feed through flat O-ring. Secure strap with Velcro tab.
NOTE: Large, flat O-rings on front (Pectoral/Clavicle) and back (Scapula)
should be positioned for maximum patient comfort.
FOR REHABILITATION: To use the UltraSling IV without the Abductor
Cushion, remove waist strap from front and back. Then thread the waist
