Shoulder immobilizers restrict shoulder and arm movement during recovery from dislocation, surgery and injury — a clinical, higher-specification orthopaedic line for hospital, rehabilitation and home-care buyers. This page covers the immobiliser types, support features and Class I device framing a shoulder-immobiliser buyer needs.
We supply shoulder immobilisers and immobilising slings with adjustable straps and body wraps, with the sizing and CE Class I / ISO 13485 documentation the category requires. Available in bulk and under private label for clinical and rehabilitation supply.

The difference matters for procurement. An arm sling supports and elevates the forearm, allowing some shoulder movement — suited to minor injuries and comfort. A shoulder immobilizer adds a waist or body strap that holds the arm against the torso to genuinely restrict shoulder movement — required after dislocation, certain fractures and shoulder surgery. Specifying the immobiliser when true restriction is needed, rather than a simple sling, is the key clinical distinction this product serves. An abduction-pillow variant addresses post-operative positioning needs.
Because immobilisers are worn for weeks during recovery, padded straps, breathable fabric and easy single-handed adjustment define a good design — comfort drives compliance with the recovery protocol. We specify padding, breathability and adjustability to support extended, comfortable wear, with left/right or universal fitting.
Shoulder immobilizers are Class I medical devices under HS 9021.10, ISO 13485 sourced with CE documentation. Own-brand colour, strap configuration and packaging are supported.
