The Bledsoe ARC (Abduction & Rotation Control) is an advanced choice for non-surgical and post-operative support and immobilization of the injured shoulder.

The brace provides comfortable abduction positioning of the affected arm as well as fine adjustment of rotation. It enables the extremity to be positioned in neutral rotation or varying degrees of internal and external rotation.

The ARC eliminates the pillow solution, using elegant, simplistic design engineering for improved function and comfort.

The ARC Advantage:

• One size fits all...cuff folds back to create long, medium or short sleeve.
• Easily adapts for right or left arm.
• Aluminum waist frame is easily formed for accurate positioning & comfort.
• Ranges from 20° internal rotation to 15° external rotation (up to 70° with ARC-XR).
• Allows both abduction and rotation.
• Exercise hand grip keeps arm from sliding forward and reduces post-operative swelling and pain.
• Ratchet release waist clip fine-tunes fit and comfort.
• Half the weight of a pillow solution.
• Easy enough to be self-applied.
• Cool versions available for warm climates.

• The ARC shoulder brace is designed for arthroscopy, rotator cuff or labral repairs. It is effective with Bankart lesions, with or without surgery.

  The ARC can be used for shoulder instability repairs, particularly posterior where the ability to maintain a particular degree of external rotation is key.

  The ARC provides a static external rotation force for treatment of frozen shoulder.

  For external rotation beyond 15°, the ARC-XR (eXternal Rotation) version provides greater restriction of movement for fractures, revision instability repairs or for the higher immobilization needs of arthroplasty revisions.
