Definition of How to make a sling:
A sling is a device used to support and keep still (immobilize) an injured part of the body.
Slings can be used for many different injuries, but are most often used when you have a broken (fractured) or dislocated arm or shoulder.

Considerations:
If an injury needs a splint, apply the splint first, and then apply the sling.
Always check the person's skin color and pulse (circulation) after the injured body part has been immobilized.
