Pediatric Shoulder Abduction Airplane Splint and Kids Adjustable Arm ROM Orthosis for Brachial Plexus Injury, Dislocation, and Post-Op Joint Recovery

What is this product?

This product is a Pediatric Shoulder Abduction Airplane Splint and Arm ROM Orthosis. It is a specialized, rigid child-sized medical brace that uses a mechanical aluminum frame, an anatomical torso jacket, and an adjustable arm platform to hold a child’s shoulder, elbow, and forearm in a fixed outward (“airplane”) position. By locking the joint at a precise angle, it protects healing nerves, keeps the shoulder bone centered in its socket, and prevents joint stiffness or contractures during recovery.

Compliance & Quality Assurance

Every SAK BRACE product is manufactured under strict quality management processes, supporting ISO 13485, CE & EU MDR compliance requirements.

  • Engineered for advanced pediatric upper extremity stabilization, this medical-grade pediatric shoulder abduction airplane splint provides rigid structural support during critical orthopedic healing phases. The brace features an anatomical torso wrap paired with a contoured upper arm and forearm cuff system, constructed from high-density panels lined with breathable, perforated blue lining. 
  • A heavy-duty lateral aluminum mechanism serves as an adjustable range of motion (ROM) arm training frame to hold the shoulder at a safe abduction angle, neutralizing joint contracture, slipping, and internal rotation strains. Equipped with a secure cross-body harness strap system and steel rivet reinforcements, this child-sized hand and arm stabilizer aligns the entire upper limb to minimize joint stress and support nerve healing. Its low-bulk, ergonomic shape provides uniform compressive offloading, making it ideal for immediate post-surgical restriction and early-stage physical rehabilitation.

Product Introduction

Adjustable shoulder abduction design helps maintain the arm in the prescribed therapeutic position

Lightweight rigid frame provides stable immobilization and post-operative protection

Multi-point adjustment system allows individualized fitting and angle control

Ergonomic chest and waist supports improve wearing stability and patient comfort

Breathable padded liners help reduce pressure and enhance long-term wearability

Secure forearm support assists in reducing shoulder loading during recovery

Quick-release straps enable easy application and adjustment for clinical use

Suitable for post-operative rehabilitation, fracture fixation, and shoulder joint protection

Suitable for:

  • Children with Brachial Plexus Injuries (BPI): Young patients dealing with Erb’s palsy, nerve stretching, or post-surgical nerve graft recovery who require absolute shoulder joint offloading to promote nerve regeneration.

  • Pediatric Shoulder Dislocation and Subluxation Recoverers: Toddlers and kids managing severe joint capsule laxity, loose ligaments, or recurrent shoulder slipping who need an external mechanical frame to keep the humeral head centered.

  • Post-Operative Upper Limb Surgery Patients: Kids recovering from shoulder arthroscopy, humerus fracture fixation, tendon transfers, or complex contracture release procedures requiring precise positional immobilization.

  • Young Patients with Spastic Cerebral Palsy (CP): Children experiencing upper extremity hypertonia or internal rotation contractures who require fixed therapeutic abduction to counteract involuntary muscle pulling.

  • Kids Recovering from Stable Proximal Humerus Fractures: Young individuals undergoing conservative, non-surgical bone healing who need absolute upper arm stabilization relative to the torso.

Indications

Rotator cuff repair and post-operative shoulder rehabilitation

Shoulder joint stabilization following dislocation or reduction

Immobilization for humeral fractures and upper arm trauma

Post-surgical protection after shoulder reconstruction procedures

Shoulder instability, soft tissue injuries, and ligament repair recovery

Controlled positioning and support following traumatic shoulder injuries

People Also Ask

Why is this type of brace referred to as a shoulder abduction "airplane splint"?
  • It earns the name “airplane splint” because the mechanical lateral frame holds the child’s arm out to the side, parallel to the ground, resembling the wing of an airplane. This specific position is medically known as shoulder abduction, and it is crucial because it takes all gravitational weight off the shoulder joint capsule, reduces strain on the brachial plexus nerves, and prevents the arm from freezing close to the body.
  • Yes, the brace is built with dynamic modularity. The heavy-duty metal support bars feature multi-hole screw configurations and dial joints that allow clinical adjusters or physical therapists to change the shoulder abduction angle and modify the elbow’s resting position. This flexibility ensures the brace adapts to your child’s evolving rehabilitation plan.
  • The brace is lined with a premium, bright blue perforated composite fabric backing that lets body heat and moisture quickly escape. Children often get warm during active play or therapy, so this ventilation matrix stops sweat from being trapped against the skin, drastically reducing the risk of chafing, rashes, and discomfort during long hours of daily wear.
  • Absolutely. The torso wrap uses contoured, lightweight composite panels that curve around the lower ribs and waist without pressing directly into the stomach. Supported by wide, high-tension hook-and-loop straps across the chest and waist, it distributes the arm’s weight evenly across the entire upper body, preventing localized pressure points when the child sits, walks, or rests.

Shoulder Abduction Brace

Q1. What is a shoulder abduction brace used for?
  • A: A shoulder abduction brace is designed to immobilize the shoulder while maintaining the arm in a controlled abducted position, typically between 15° and 90°. It is commonly prescribed after rotator cuff repair, shoulder stabilization surgery, labral repair, shoulder dislocation, and proximal humerus fractures. Maintaining the proper arm position helps reduce stress on healing tissues and supports post-operative recovery.

  • A: Following rotator cuff repair, a shoulder abduction brace helps keep the repaired tendons in a protected position, reducing tension during the early healing phase. It also limits unwanted shoulder movement, helping improve surgical outcomes and rehabilitation.

  • A: Yes. Many shoulder abduction braces include an adjustable abduction pillow or support wedge that allows healthcare professionals to set the desired angle based on the patient’s surgical protocol and rehabilitation stage.

  • A: Yes. Most shoulder abduction braces are available in left- and right-side configurations or feature a universal design with adjustable straps to ensure a secure and comfortable fit.

  • A: Yes. We provide OEM and ODM manufacturing services for shoulder abduction braces, including customized logos, packaging, materials, colors, instruction manuals, and private-label solutions for orthopedic brands, hospitals, and rehabilitation equipment distributors.
