The online store “Kind Orthopedist” offers to buy a fixing bandage for the shoulder joint at a competitive price. Our consultants will help you choose the optimal type of bandage. The main task of a shoulder brace is to fix the shoulder in its natural position. This eliminates the possibility of worsening damage to the articular elements. The main advantage of a brace for the shoulder joint is the ability to fix not only the shoulder, but also immobilize the elbow joint, reduce the motor activity of the back, which contributes to the rapid restoration of the ligaments and muscles of the spinal region.
Features of fixing products
Wearing such an orthopedic product helps prevent the formation of hematomas, since the vessels in the shoulder area will not be subject to further ruptures. In addition, the retainer has a compression effect and helps reduce swelling.
The shoulder bandage is shown:
- when diagnosing arthrosis, arthritis, and peritonitis;
- after wearing a plaster cast, postoperative rehabilitation (arthroscopy);
- for dislocations, sprains, ruptures of ligaments, tendons, and muscles.
For prevention purposes, it is recommended for inflammation in muscle tissue, such as myositis, pain syndromes, and chronic inflammation in the joint.
For sprains, bruises, and the risk of inflammatory processes in tissues, it is recommended to use fixatives with warming properties.
Types of orthoses for the shoulder and arm
There are a number of diseases and injuries to the arms and shoulder joints, the treatment and prevention of which can be treated with special braces. They are used for bruises, ligament injuries, post-operative rehabilitation, during periods of recovery from injuries and after wearing a cast. An arm and shoulder brace is also suitable for muscle diseases: myositis, hypotension, atrophy, malnutrition and many others.
Various types of orthoses are used in the treatment of the upper limbs and shoulder joint. Such orthopedic products help fix the arm and shoulder in a certain position, preventing their possible displacement or accidental damage throughout the entire rehabilitation period.
On our website you can find a wide range of orthosis models that will help in the treatment and prevention of various diseases, injuries or functional disorders. There are different types of such products, with a certain degree of shoulder fixation, used in the treatment and restoration of bones, joints, ligaments and muscles of the shoulder girdle. These products are needed for various types of injuries, fractures, ruptures and sprains of ligaments, joints and tendons of the upper extremities. They are used in the treatment of tendevitis and bursitis, arthritis and arthrosis, osteochondrosis and other inflammatory or degenerative processes and functional disorders. They are also used after operations to speed up the rehabilitation process.
Many models of orthoses can be worn around the clock for a long period, but the details and features of their use for each patient are individually determined only by the attending physician.
For therapy and rehabilitation, various modifications of such products are used:
Kerchief orthoses: a soft bandage in the form of a scarf reliably supports an arm bent at 90°. Such products are used for simple types of fractures or sprains, allowing you to hold your hand in a certain position. They are also used in the treatment of arthritis or arthrosis, as well as other types of inflammatory and degenerative diseases.
These brace models retain some mobility of the shoulder girdle, helping to relieve stress from the shoulder. They are used after removing the rigid plaster cast, which completely immobilizes the shoulder. These products are also used in the treatment of arthritis, arthrosis, as well as other types of degenerative and inflammatory diseases of the shoulder girdle.
Orthoses of the “Dezo” type firmly fix the arm to the body, preventing the shoulder from moving. Fixators with cushions help hold the limb at a given angle for better fusion of bones. Such orthopedic products secure the arm bent at the elbow joint rigidly to the chest. A wide belt, Velcro or fasteners help keep the limb in the desired position.
These orthopedic devices do not require special care. If they are heavily soiled, they can be washed (by hand) using regular cleaning products. If the products contain metal parts and elements, they must be thoroughly dried.
The use of orthoses speeds up the process of treatment and rehabilitation of patients with various injuries of the upper extremities.
A semi-rigid bandage of the “Dezo” type holds the arm, securing it to the body. It allows you to reliably immobilize the shoulder joint itself. There are semi-rigid immobilizing orthoses supplemented with abduction pillows. Such models make it possible to hold the limb at a certain angle to the body. Rigid orthoses have a metal frame with adjusting mechanisms. These models are used for fractures of the radius, humeral neck and other complex injuries. With the help of such products you can set the desired angle of fixation of the arm and shoulder.
There are different models of bandages that limit arm movement. These orthoses are used for people who have suffered injuries, bruises or broken arms. The specific type of brace for fixing the shoulder or arm can only be prescribed by a doctor, taking into account individual characteristics and the nature of the injury. Such orthopedic products must be carefully looked after; they can only be washed by hand using cool water. The use of different types of orthoses helps speed up the process of restoring the functions of the shoulder girdle and arms.
To restore the motor function of the shoulder joint after injuries or surgical interventions, a wide range of rehabilitation measures is necessary. Depending on the severity of the injuries, the rehabilitation period can last from 1 to 6 months.
Various models of fixing orthoses are used to immobilize the shoulder. These orthotics help keep the arm in position, preventing possible displacement or accidental injury to the healing shoulder. On our website you can select the desired model of such a fixing bandage to ensure the most effective position of the arm and shoulder during the rehabilitation period. There are different options for orthoses prescribed by doctors for rehabilitation.
The shoulder bandage stabilizes and moderately fixes the shoulder and shoulder blades. Depending on the model, the orthosis may consist of different materials. It can be made of neoprene: a special material that is widely used in support and fixation orthoses. Neoprene warms up the tissue and has a compression and massage effect.
Recently, braces for the shoulder joint using natural materials (for example, Angora wool) have been gaining popularity. The specificity of such models is their strong heating effect. The damaged area recovers much faster in warmth.
Some models provide the ability to abduct the arm, which is necessary for some types of injuries, for example, a fracture or dislocation of the shoulder. The abduction shoulder orthosis, in particular, has this capability. The angle required for the fastest rehabilitation is adjusted using removable triangular stops. And soft and breathable materials do not allow irritation and rashes to appear on the skin.
Varieties
Today, fixing products may differ in the material of manufacture, in the number of elements of the device, in size and number of tiers of material. Also, products are classified according to the area in which they are fixed.
Many people confuse shoulder braces with shoulder orthoses, which perform similar functions.
Some orthoses provide complete immobility of the upper limb, bending it at the elbow joint in front of the sternum. Moreover, the bandages consist entirely of natural and elastic fabrics, without hard ribs. Therefore, such retainers are especially good for children.
The scarf type of products also stands out. They are usually prescribed for simple fractures and dislocations. In this case, the orthopedic product fixes the arm at a right angle with a bend at the elbow.
Shoulder brace, semi-rigid
Stereotypical and repeated movements in teachers, athletes, painters, and people who have suffered a shoulder injury gradually lead to disruption of the anatomical structure of the tendon and muscle formations.
When a damaging factor is applied to a healthy joint, even a slight force is enough to cause a violation of tissue integrity. As a result, a tendon rupture occurs, which in turn is accompanied by:
- inability to move actively;
- sharp pain in the shoulder and arm;
- relative lengthening of the limb.
In such cases, doctors at the Yusupov Hospital prescribe orthotic structures to achieve restoration of the function and structure of the rotator cuff. Their goal is the need to ensure the immobility of the articular surfaces and relieve the muscular system.
An orthosis is a bandage device that serves to unload and maintain a state of rest in joints that have been damaged. Orthotics are considered today to be the best non-surgical treatment for joint formations. Indications for the use of orthotic structures also include:
- arthritis;
- habitual shoulder dislocation;
- ruptures, sprains;
- damage to the acromioclavicular joint;
- collarbone fractures;
- for unloading during rest when playing sports;
- rehabilitation after injuries and operations.
A semi-rigid elbow orthosis with hinges is also used, which has various properties depending on the material and the specific model. The general effects of the device are protective, compression, stabilizing, and immobilizing.
The compression effect tightens the tissues of the shoulder, ensuring their accelerated healing and anatomical rapprochement. Increased blood circulation under a semi-rigid shoulder orthosis promotes the delivery of nutrients and accelerated recovery of the affected area.
The stabilizing effect keeps ligaments and muscles from overstretching and prevents stress.
The immobilization effect ensures immobility in the joint. This is necessary throughout the entire treatment. Helps prevent damage and movement of ligamentous and bone formations.
The semi-rigid shoulder and forearm orthosis has a protective effect. It is the totality of all the previous ones. It protects the joint from movement and other external influences, and also allows you to achieve a positive result in the shortest possible time.

Types of bandages for shoulder dislocation
Fixing bandages vary in the degree of compression. All models are made from hypoallergenic and breathable materials. The type of product required depends on the doctor's recommendations. The following types of bandages are distinguished:
- Limiting – helps strengthen the shoulder muscles, relieves pain and swelling, and is invisible under clothing. It can be made either in the form of a supporting muff with belts or in the form of a half-vest with a short cuff;
- Supportive - a scarf for the arm bent at the elbow with fixation behind the back and gripping the forearm, practically does not limit the mobility of the arm. Used for minor damage;
- The fixative - Deso bandage - limits motor activity, including the mobility of the back muscles, keeps the elbow and shoulder in the correct position, reduces the likelihood of developing secondary injuries, including the formation of intra-articular hematomas.
How to choose and buy
When choosing a shoulder brace for a dislocation, the main attention should be paid to the doctor’s recommendations. The size is determined depending on the model, but in most cases it is advisable to know the height, limb length, shoulder and chest circumference when exhaling.
