medi Arm fix® Kidz

medi Arm fix® Kidz is a shoulder joint support for children. It consists of a waist strap, two arm pockets and a stabilising strap that goes over the healthy shoulder. Thanks to the sophisticated design, the upper and lower arm pockets are easy to open, thus facilitating early functional movement and exercises. The pre-shaped upper arm loop allows the wearer to don the support with one hand. In day-to-day life, medi Arm fix® Kidz reliably protects from detrimental joint movements of the shoulder or elbow joints.

medi Arm fix® Kidz holds the joint securely in zero degree abduction in internal rotation. This restricts movements that would otherwise disrupt the healing process. It is used for all indications requiring immobilization of the shoulder joint in internal rotation, such as:

• Nonsurgical treatment after anterior shoulder dislocation and /or chronic subluxation
• After rotator cuff repair
• Acromioclavicular joint dislocation  (nonsurgical, postoperative)
• Scapula fractures (nonsurgical, postoperative)
• fractures of the humerus head  (nonsurgical, postoperative)

Children are easily able to don and doff the shoulder sling without help once they have been shown what to do, a single demonstration is generally sufficient. High-quality fastening mechanisms facilitate the positioning and fixation of the sling.

medi Arm fix® Kidz limits joint movements on all planes. Thus protects from detrimental joint movements in the shoulder and elbow joints. With this reliable immobilisation, medi Arm fix® Kidz can prevent movement-related pain and promote a speedy recovery.
