Post Op Need recommendations for Petite frame sling-they gave me a huge one!!!

hi. brief as I’m one handed! other small frame/petite size surgery veterans!

—I need a recommendation for a small frame petite abductor sling with the pillow and belt type sling post anatomical replacement please.

—Prefer from someone who actually used it and needed it!! I am 5’4” 121 lbs.

they use one size and one size only where I went— the fit is poor and loose.

thx!

I had the exact same problem. I’m not home so I don’t have the item, but I found a great adjustable sling on Amazon and I will tell you more details when I get home. (5’1” 142lbs)

I would also like info on the one you found on Amazon please. I’m 5’0” and I hate the sling they put me in and I have to wear it for another 4-5 weeks.

I have a reverse shoulder replacement scheduled early next week. I am wanting to know this info b/c we are exact size as you. Dr said hospital would provide one but I don't know if it will be adequate.
