    Figure 8 Clavicle Support & Posture Improvement Strap for Men & Women

    Why You Need This Clavicle Brace for Broken Collarbones and Posture Correction The collarbone (clavicle) is one of the most commonly broken or fractured bones in the human body. This injury is typically seen among younger kids, adults involved in high impact exercises, or anyone who spends a lot of time playing high contact sports like soccer or football. A broken collarbone can also be caused by trauma such as car crashes or severe falls. This figure-8 clavicle harness was specifically designed to help treat clavicle fractures, broken collarbones, dislocated clavicles, and post-operative pain by providing optimal support and immobilization of the area.

    What Does a Broken Collarbone Feel Like?

    A broken clavicle is usually pretty apparent. You will probably feel a crack when it happens. Then, you will likely experience some of these symptoms:

    • Trouble moving your arm and shoulder

    • Swelling and pain around the collarbone

    • A lump or dedivity around the area of the break

    • A grinding sensation when you try to lift your arm

    • Sagging or drooping around your shoulder

    Can This Collarbone Brace Be Used as a Posture Support?

    This upper back brace can also be used as a posture trainer to help prevent you from developing a hunchback. It does so thanks to the figure-8 design, which loops around your shoulders and crosses in the back, gently pulling your shoulders back. This design helps retrain the muscles in your back to hold an upright, non-slouched position, keeping your spine properly aligned and straight.

    However, if you are looking specifically for a posture corrector brace to fix rounded shoulders, you should check out BraceAbility’s posture brace. This support was designed specifically to prevent hunching over, rather than immobilizing your clavicle.

    Wearing BraceAbility’s posture improving device can help you to maintain good posture while typing on your computer at the office, sitting in your desk chair, or standing up, for example.

    5 Reasons Why People Love This Figure 8 Back Posture Brace

    This broken clavicle treatment brace and posture corrector has a number of features that make it comfortable to wear when dealing with collarbone pain. Following we detail 5 top-rated features that help it stand out from similar clavicle immobilizers or broken collarbone arm slings on the market.

    1. Easily Adjustable, Medical-Grade Closures

      You will need help putting on this posture correcting harness, which shouldn’t be too difficult thanks to its simple fastener closures that allow for easy application and adjustments throughout the day if needed.

      As an added bonus, the fasteners are 10 times stronger than the standard, retail-grade fasteners you’ll find at Walgreens, Walmart, Target, or other online retailers. Medical-grade fastener is meant to open and close at least 900 times, unlike retail-grade fastener, which is only meant to open and close 90 times.

    2. Thick Padded Straps Offer Comfortable Stabilization

      The straps on this brace are shielded from your body with padding and a felt-covered back pad where the straps merge. Plus, a breathable, knitted stockinette material covers the straps on this figure 8 clavicle splint, making it extra soft and comfortable for daytime and nighttime wear while sleeping.

      This brace also has fairly wide straps, making it a great solution for clavicle injuries. Narrower versions are not recommended for such injuries. If the width of these straps feels uncomfortable at first, remember that this width gives you the appropriate level of stabilization that is needed to properly heal from a collarbone injury.

    3. Provides More Mobility Than an Arm Sling

      In comparison to an arm sling, this figure 8 design provides full mobility of your hands. Plus, this figure 8 brace keeps both of your shoulders back and stabilizes them rather than an arm sling, which generally just keeps just one side stabilized. You can also choose to wear this shoulder brace beneath or over your clothing, unlike an arm sling which must be worn over your clothing.

      For more serious clavicle injuries, your doctor might specifically recommend purchasing a shoulder sling.

    4. Use After Collarbone Surgery

      If your injury is a simple break that does not require any realignment of your collarbone or fragmentation, simply immobilizing the region with this clavicle brace should allow your bone to heal. In more serious breaks where the bone must be reset, surgery might be necessary.

      After surgery, this clavicle fracture brace helps hold your shoulders still so your collarbone can properly heal. In either a serious or more minor break, ice can also help ease any discomfort or swelling.
