The Flamingo Pediatric Arm Sling – Medium is a children's arm support designed to provide comfortable support and controlled immobilisation following certain upper-limb injuries. Flamingo lists the Pediatric Arm Sling for post-casting, arm fractures and elbow dislocation.
The sling is designed to hold the child's elbow at approximately 90° flexion, helping keep the forearm supported and reducing unnecessary movement during recovery. Its foam-padded fabric and child-friendly printed material are designed with comfort in mind.
A broad shoulder pad helps distribute the weight of the supported arm across the shoulder area, while the integrated thumb loop provides additional positioning support. The product is available in Small, Medium and Large, with this listing being the Medium variant.
