A SLING TO PREVENT SAWING AND STRAIN ON THE NECK

The accompanying illustration shows an ordinary triangular sling of brown sateen, two cut out of one square yard, with the cut edges hemmed, and a pad of the same material, 21 inches long and 4 inches wide, with a padding strip of cotton batting, 1 inch thick, of the same size, and with two straps 1¼ inches wide sewed across the anterior surface of the pad, 1¼ inches from each end. All loose edges are turned in and stitched. When used as illustrated, the sling prevents sawing and strain on the neck. The tailoring makes a neat appearance and the brown sateen blends well with any costume. In my experience, patients have been much more willing to wear the neat, comfortable, sightly sling. 5 Elm Row.
