A shoulder sling is designed to immobilize the shoulder joint and support the entire arm, typically used for shoulder injuries or surgeries. An arm sling, on the other hand, primarily supports the forearm and wrist, often used for injuries to the elbow, forearm, or wrist. Both slings aim to reduce movement and facilitate healing, but they target different areas of the arm.
