Sling and Swathe is a technique used to immobilize an injured upper extremity (including arm, shoulder, collarbone) or ribcage. If the patient will need to walk a long distance to be evacuated, the sling and swathe could be tied underneath insulating layers, so those outer layers can be removed if the patient overheats. | NOLS Wilderness Medicine
