Arm elevator support device

An arm elevation support device for recuperative support following rotator cuff surgery, humeral head or shaft fracture correction, or the like comprising:

• a generally monolithic humerus support having,
• a first, concave, proximal surface of said monolithic humerus support to be operably received about a patient's rib cage to laterally distribute supporting loads of said arm elevation support device,
• a second surface which extends at a substantially forty-five degree angle with respect to said first proximal surface of said monolithic humerus support,
• a third distal surface substantially parallel to said first proximal surface and extending at substantially a forty-five degree angle with respect to said second surface, and
• a fourth surface substantially normal to said first proximal surface of said monolithic humerus support and said third distal surface;
• a contoured well shoulder anchor having,
• a contoured sleeve portion operable to be worn around the acromial region of a patient's well arm and shoulder and extend in supporting contact about the deltoideus and deltoid regions of a patient's well arm and shoulder,
• a first strap connected to an anterior segment of said contoured well shoulder anchor and extending across a patient's upper torso and being connected to an anterior portion of said monolithic humerus support, and
• a second strap connected to a posterior segment of said contour well shoulder anchor and extending across a back portion of a patients's torso and being releasably connected to a posterior portion of said monolithic humerus support wherein the shoulder region of a patient's opposing well arm operably provides support for said generally monolithic humerous support positioned on an opposite side of a patient's body for underlying and supporting the patient's recuperative arm;
• and
• a radius and ulna of a generally rectangular shape which is releasably connected to a third distal surfaces of said monolithic humerus support for recuperatively supporting a hand and foreman of a patient.

• radius and ulna support comprising,
• a generally rectangular monolithic member which is releasably connected to a third distal surface of said monolithic humerus support for recuperatively supporting a hand and forearm of a patient, and
• an enlarged end portion with at least one hand-receiving member;
• a first retaining strap releasably connected to said monolithic support and being operable to extend about a humeral region of a patient's arm;
• and
• a second retaining strap releasably connected to said radius and ulna support and being operable to extend about the radius and ulna of a patient's arm.
