Sling and immobilization

A sling and immobilization are medical tools used to support and protect an injured limb. A sling is a fabric device that holds the arm or shoulder in a natural position, reducing movement and preventing further injury. Immobilization involves securing the injured area with splints, braces, or bandages to keep bones or tissues from moving, allowing healing to occur. Both methods help reduce pain, prevent worsening injuries, and promote proper healing by restricting unnecessary movement. They are commonly used for broken bones, dislocated joints, or soft tissue injuries.
