Detailed explanation-1: -A sling is a device used to support and keep still (immobilize) an injured part of the body. Slings can be used for many different injuries. They are most often used when you have a broken (fractured) or dislocated arm, elbow, or shoulder.
Detailed explanation-2: -To help stabilize an injury, a triangular sling can be made out of a large square piece of cloth. After a shoulder injury you may be fitted with a shoulder sling to help immobilize the joint to aid in the healing process. Your provider may advise you to apply ice to help ease pain and swelling.
Detailed explanation-3: -A splint may be a good short-term treatment for any painful injury. Using a splint helps keep an injury from moving. This may help prevent further injury until you can see your doctor. Position the splint so the injured limb cannot bend.
