How to make a sling
Definition:
A sling is a device used to support and immobilize an injured part of the body (in particular, an injured shoulder, arm, or collarbone).


Alternative Names:
Sling - instructions


Considerations:
If an injury needs a splint, apply the splint first, and then apply the sling.

Always check the victim's circulation (skin color, pulse) after the injured body part has been immobilized.


Causes:
Slings can be used for many different injuries, but most typically for arm or shoulder fractures, or dislocations. Any time there is a broken bone, stabilizing the area is important.
