Q&A

What is the functional difference between the ARC and the ARC-XR?

From the moment one goes to 15° exo-rotation, the XR provides greater immobilisation of the shoulder. As a result of the extra strap, the patient will experience less pressure in the neck.

Is this brace user-friendly for the patient?

As a result of the simple closing system and the design of the brace, the patient can, without moving the injured shoulder, put it on and take it off very easily.

How many degrees abduction does one achieve with this orthosis?

You have a guaranteed abduction of 15°, irrespective of the position. This corresponds to a small shoulder abduction cushion.

How much stock do you need?

You avoid having to invest in much stock because there is only one size.
