Abstract
An improved arm sling includes a forearm support section having a resealable opening in a bottom panel for permitting exercise, flexure and extension of a patient's forearm without removing the sling harness from the patient. A splint pocket is also provided for housing a removable splint for supporting the patient's hand in a neutral position. An external pocket encloses a foam cushion for conforming engagement with the patient's waist, thus providing an abduction effect.
