Abstract: A sling having a generally rectangular shoulder pad with a cutout for the user's neck and four D-rings attached thereto is disclosed. A chest strap is attached to two of the D-rings, one on each end of the shoulder pad. An arm strap is attached to the two remaining D-rings. Both of the straps are formed of a resilient material to allow the user flexibility and mobility while wearing the sling. In order to create an easily adjusted attachment, each of the straps has a layer of resilient hook material on one side. At each end of each strap is a patch of hook material. The combination of hook and loop material is used to connect each end of the strap to the corresponding D-ring. An alternate embodiment uses two O-rings. Each O-ring attaches one end of both the arm strap and the chest strap to the shoulder pad.

Abstract: A medical pressure sensitive adhesive tape includes a base material and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer formed on at least one side of the base material. The medical pressure sensitive adhesive tape is greatly lightened in skin irritation and has the following characteristics: (a) the stress at 5% elongation being within a range of 0.1 to 8.0 N/24 mm as measured at a temperature of 23° C. and an extension rate of 100 mm/min; (b) the viscosity (unit: Pa·s) of a pressure sensitive adhesive being within a range of 5.0 to 6.7 in terms of logarithm as determined from an initial slippage under shear load; and (c) the water-vapor transmission rate being within a range of 800 to 8,000 g/m2·24 hr as measured at a temperature of 40° C. and a relative humidity of 90%.
