Full product description
The Velpeau EpBloc Classic shoulder immobilizer supports the shoulder and arm in a defined position when a doctor or surgeon recommends limited movement after an injury or procedure.
An immobilizer is simply a medical support that limits movement. Therefore, this sling helps hold the arm securely instead of allowing the shoulder to move freely.
In addition, its padded and breathable design supports everyday comfort. Adjustable hook-and-loop fasteners also help you set the fit according to your body and medical guidance.
However, the sling does not heal an injury by itself. Always follow your doctor or surgeon's advice about fit, wearing time and when to begin shoulder movement again.
Velpeau EpBloc Classic Shoulder Immobilizer – Key Features
What Is a Shoulder Immobilizer Sling?
A shoulder immobilizer sling supports the arm while limiting movement around the shoulder.
Doctors may recommend this type of support after certain shoulder injuries or operations. Therefore, the main purpose is controlled positioning rather than simply carrying the weight of the arm.
In addition, EpBloc Classic uses a fastening system that gives the arm firm support while still allowing individual adjustment.
Velpeau EpBloc Classic Sling for Injury and Post-Op Support
The Velpeau EpBloc Classic sling has manufacturer-listed applications for several shoulder conditions.
For example, these include acute shoulder instability, shoulder dislocation, sprain or bruising, acute rotator-cuff injury and selected post-operative care.
However, these are medical indications rather than self-diagnosis instructions. Therefore, a doctor should decide whether this type of immobilisation suits your condition.
Post Surgery Shoulder Sling – What Should Household Buyers Know?
A post surgery shoulder sling may form part of the care plan after certain shoulder procedures.
First, the surgeon decides the position and duration of support. Next, the patient follows instructions about when to remove the sling for hygiene, dressing or exercises.
Therefore, avoid copying another person's wearing schedule. Recovery plans can differ even after similar procedures.

How to Choose the Velpeau Shoulder Immobilizer Size
Velpeau selects the EpBloc Classic size using ribcage circumference. In simple words, measure around the chest as shown in the manufacturer's fitting guidance.
Therefore, do not choose a size only from height, weight or arm length.
| Size 0 | 65–80 cm ribcage circumference |
|---|---|
| Size 1 | 75–95 cm ribcage circumference |
| Size 2 | 90–110 cm ribcage circumference |
| Size 3 | 105–125 cm ribcage circumference |
| Size 4 | 120–140 cm ribcage circumference |
Because some size ranges overlap, your doctor, orthopaedic professional or Meddey support team can help if your measurement sits between two options.
Shoulder Arm Support Brace for Right or Left Side
This shoulder arm support brace works on either the right or left side.
In addition, the adjustable fastening system allows individual positioning. The manufacturer also designed the orthosis so users may put it on and remove it independently when their condition allows.
However, after surgery or a significant injury, ask a healthcare professional to check the first fitting whenever possible.
Breathable Shoulder Support Sling for Everyday Wear
A breathable shoulder support sling can feel more manageable when a care plan requires regular wear.
EpBloc Classic combines lightweight construction with padded sling material. In addition, its breathable fabric helps manage temperature and moisture.
Meanwhile, the open design lets you wear it over clothing. Therefore, dressing may be easier in some everyday situations.

- Next, wash the support at 30°C.
- Do not use bleach.
