Sling and swathe splint

Sling and swathe splint

Selected proximal and midshaft humeral fractures may be immobilized with a sling and swathe splint (refer to UpToDate topics on proximal and midshaft humeral fractures).

(A) A powdered pad is placed in the axilla prior to application of the swathe to prevent maceration.

(B) The swathe component is essential to minimize motion of the shoulder region.
