Dressing After Rotator Cuff Surgery

After surgery for repair of a rotator cuff you will be wearing an arm sling. Because of your limited range of motion for awhile there are specific items of clothing that will help you to dress with little or no assistance. For women our front closure bras will be of help.  

For both men and women our Velcro® front closure shirts and blouses will be easy to put on. Place the operative arm into the garment first and then the unaffected arm and then close the front of the garment with simple pressure over the buttons that hide the Velcro® tabs. You may usually remove the sling to dress, but maintain a degree of  immobility (always check with your physician and physical therapist first).

Another clothing item that will be helpful in dressing with an arm sling is our Velcro® fly closure pant.  We have a wide variety of pants for men and women, any of our slacks may be adapted with a front closure.

Take a look in our catalog and let us know if you have another dressing need. Remember, most of our clothing can be adapted to meet your needs.
