Soft Splint (Sling)

Soft Splint (Sling)

A soft splint uses soft materials, such as a folded blanket, towel, pillow, or folded triangular bandage. A sling is a specific kind of soft splint that uses a triangular bandage that is tied to support an injured arm, wrist, or hand.

To apply a sling:

1. Support the arm above and below the site of the injury.
2. Place the triangular bandage under the injured arm and over the uninjured shoulder to form the sling.
3. Tie the ends of the sling at the side of the neck.

Do not use a sling for a long period of time. Immobilizing an arm for too long can cause a frozen shoulder.
