DonJoy UltraSling III Shoulder Support Sling

The DonJoy UltraSling III Shoulder Support Sling has received mixed reviews from customers. While some customers found it to be helpful and comfortable, others experienced discomfort and irritation. One common issue reported by customers is that the neck strap cuts into their neck and causes discomfort. Some users even mentioned that the strap keeps twisting and scratching their skin, leading to irritation. One customer expressed disappointment in having to purchase additional padding to alleviate this issue. Another concern raised by customers is that the sling caused soreness in their elbow. One customer suggested using a small, soft microfiber cloth to provide padding and prevent rubbing on the elbow. Despite these complaints, some customers found the DonJoy UltraSling III to be an improvement compared to previous models they had used. They appreciated that it was lighter weight and somewhat cooler. However, one customer noted that the inside of the sling was a bit rough, although it was not a significant issue as long as their skin was covered. In terms of sizing, customers recommended trying on the sling to determine the best fit. If the elbow does not go all the way back and leave the strap under the thumb, the sling is too big. If the front strap cannot be secured under the thumb, it is too small. The washing instructions for the sling were not explicitly provided in the FAQ, but one customer suggested removing the pad and washing on a gentle cycle with low-temperature drying. Other questions included inquiries about ordering a replacement squeeze ball, setting up the sling, the presence of a chest strap (which actually goes around the waist), and the size of the pillow for the XL version. Overall, the reception of the DonJoy UltraSling III Shoulder Support Sling is mixed. While some customers found it to be beneficial and comfortable, others experienced discomfort and irritation, particularly with the neck strap. The sling's lighter weight and improved comfort were appreciated by some users compared to previous models. However, the roughness of the inside material and the need for additional padding were mentioned as downsides.
