Omomed

Indications

conservative and postoperative treatment following proximal fractures of the head of the humerus, the glenoid cavity and the scapula, ac joint luxation
conservative treatment for painful osteoarthritis of the shoulder
postoperative treatment after shoulder joint prostheses
conservative treatment for acute and chronic anterior dislocation of the shoulder
postoperative treatment after stabilisation of the shoulder joint
reconstruction of the rotator cuff insertions and refixation of the biceps tendon anchor (SLAP lesion)

Mode of action

limitation and prevention of injurious movements thanks to the adjustable, marked limitation of external rotation, abduction and anteflexion of the shoulder joint
the elastic knit exerts gentle local compression on the superficial soft-tissues to limit and counteract swelling and reduce muscular tension
reduced tone in the muscles surrounding the shoulder corrects postural deficits in the shoulder with better centering of the head of the humerus in the glenoid cavity as well as easing shoulder pain

Features

flexible strap system permits individual adjustment and variable limitation of movement at the shoulder joint
highly elastic, active breathing and moisture-transporting clima-comfort? fabric, anatomically knitted around the upper arm and shoulder
intelligent strap positioning ensures comfortable wearing and unrestricted function, even in everyday clothing
suitable for long-term use over several weeks.
