BraceAbilityClavicle Support Brace - Figure 8 Upper Back Brace Posture Corrector for Women and Men, Shoulder Straightener, Kyphosis Relief, Sling for Injuries and Fractures (Medium)

This brace is soft helpful with my broken collarbone. It helps hold things in place, and makes me feelMore secure and supported as my break heals. My orthopedic doc thinks its a good idea, in addition to my sling.Con: you need someone to help put it on and remove it. If you live alone, or don’t have someone to help you, this is a nonstarter.

Broke my clavicle, 6 broken ribs, and had a pneumothorax. Hurt badly, 4 days in the hospital. More immobilizing pain than I've ever had. Once pain control and some healing had been accomplished I was sent home with an arm sling. It worked somewhat, but the most painful single item and persistently annoying was the clavicle. It felt like rats gnawing on the bone. My arm and hand were kind of useless with the pain.When the brace arrived and my wife put it on (easy), the pain IMMEDIATELY decreased, and my ability to move my arm IMPROVED SUBSTANTIALLY.Take the brace off > immediately reversal. I simply don't seen a need for the sling anymore.Only gripe, which is probably personal, is I get kind of itchy under the brace straps after hours of wearing it. I tried 24 hours the first time wearing it to bed, which is not as important I found. That seemed to respond well to benadryl cream. I suspect OTC steroid cream would work well too. I'll try that next.

Seems to reduce pain in back of neck and shoulders from "mild kyphosis" when worn daily. Not easy to put on and take off. Would be a better product if it came with an easy-to-reach strap that hangs down from the center back piece. I added one myself to make it easier to take off. The added strap also helps adjust the position of the brace on my back when it rides up a little. Uncomfortable under the arms for the first few days, but after that it conforms to the wearer's body. Seems better quality and more sturdy than the last clavicle brace I tried.

This was for my 13-year-old son, the support it’s Okay.The straps go around the arm which is a bit uncomfortable for my son. Not much support for the back. When I’m not watching him it’s easy for him to take it off sliding the straps over the shoulders.

After a clavicle and pectoral injury with surgery, and with a lengthy projected recovery period, I tried this brace to help with comfort - I'm better in motion than sitting or standing around, and hoped this brace would help for those times of inactivity. I've noticed that while wearing a light backpack, the symptoms actually feel better. This brace seemed to approximate the positioning of the backpack. Unfortunately, the large straps on the brace were rather rigid and uncomfortable. I'm fairly big through the upper back and chest; with my wife's assistance, we just couldn't get the brace positioned either to be comfortable or even to stay closed when I extended my arms. There was no choice but to return it. Silly as it sounds, I'll likely wear my light backpack when I can get away with it to do a better job than this brace. Sorry it didn't work. It's a good idea but this particular product didn't do the job for me. Maybe it's all about size? I ordered and extra large but it still seemed too tight.

Great product

Our son lives out of state and was sideswiped while riding his bike. He broke his clavicle and fractured 3 ribs. I got him this Clavicle Support Brace and I will quote him on what he said about it. "My arm was in a sling and I had no relief. When I went back to work it was so hard (he's a server at a restaurant). Once I got the Brace there was so much relief, work was a walk in the park. I was saying to everyone, I have never felt instant relief like this before."

This seems to be well made but does have a serious design flaw. The thickness of the padding on the strap in the under-arm area is way too thick and pinches the skin. Makes it very uncomfortable. I would not recommend this unless you want to cut out a chunk of the padding.
