The following film gives you helpful tips on care with the abduction cushion, medi SAS 45.

The medi SAS 45 can be used for either the left or the right shoulder.

For postoperative use, the medi SAS 45 orthosis is usually fitted to the patient while he is still in the operating theatre to avoid harmful movements of the operated shoulder when the patient is repositioned.

This process is possible with the patient lying on his side or on his back.

The product can be set to 30° or 45° abduction.

  3. Now stand straight and fasten the shoulder strap and the waist belt.
  4. If necessary, ask for help to avoid harmful movements of the operated shoulder.
