Absolutely brilliant. I did this successfully on my husband's arm after he'd had an operation on his hand for carpal tunnel and needed it elevated to avoid bleeding. And I am a complete dyspraxic. Blessings upon you!

Id just like to point out for max comfort he knot cold be attached at the neck joint where the gap of the neck and shoulder lies) and for even more comfort a padding could be added underneath the knot for additional comfort. Sources: First Aid by the armed forces. Other than that great video!

Hi Daniel, Thanks for the comment and we hope you found the video to be of some use. As you may understand, every situation can present different challenges, casualties with different arm positions, different pain levels..... in some situations, you may not be able to get a sling on at all. This video is designed to demonstrate how one would be applied, where possible. Thank you again and we hope you enjoyed our other videos on Training Aid Australia KZfaq Channel.

The human body will place itself in a position of most comfort. When placing the arm in an elevation sling, the initial placement is on top of the arm, with one end at the shoulder, the point or apex reaching past the elbow of the injured arm. The sling is then tucked gently under the hand which would normally be positioned on the opposite shoulder, and then whatever is hanging below the injured arm is gently maneuvered under the arm, so the arm is now sitting in a "trough". The apex, or point is then placed with the rest of the bandage and twisted around to form a nice tight pocket for the elbow to sit in, the tail is then taken behind the casualty, under the shoulder blade and tied with a thumb knot near the shoulder on the un-injured side. Pull both tails and apply some tension tho the whole sling, then finish the knot without losing that tension. It will be firmly fitted, but this will add to the feeling of comfort and security that the casualty has. The elevation sling is great for # collarbones.

Hi Daniel, your response seems very text book like. An experienced first responder knows that not all casualties present their injury in the same manner as all others. While text book methods for managing injuries are one way to treat, I'm sure you understand that there is always a need to improvise and work with the casualty to manage the injury as best you can. In this video, and our way of demonstrating the sling application, we place the sling under the arm first. We don't believe your way nor ours is to be more correct than the other. The ultimate outcome being that the arm is supported and ready for transport with as little pain caused to the casualty. Thanks for your comments and we hope these videos are helpful if using them for education.

Always glad to discuss...however, I have fiund that by placing it over the top first, it moves the affected arm less. Have fun
