Shoulder-Elbow-Wrist-Hand Orthosis (SEWHO) — Abduction “Airplane Splint” | HCPCS L3960
This prefabricated Shoulder-Elbow-Wrist-Hand Orthosis (SEWHO) — commonly known as an airplane splint — holds the entire arm and hand in a fixed, abducted position away from the torso. Designed for patients recovering from rotator cuff repair, shoulder dislocation, or brachial plexus injuries, the brace maintains the precise shoulder angle prescribed by the surgeon or physician, protecting repaired tissue from the stress of gravity and accidental movement.
