Abstract
A reversible sling shirt may allow a patient to put on a shirt while keeping an injured shoulder with the arm bent at a prescribed, therapeutic angle. The reversible sling shirt may include a removable seam along a body of the shirt and at least a bottom portion of a sleeve. A plurality of magnetic fasteners may be sewn along the removable seam within individual plastic pockets, thus allowing a patient to put on the reversible sling shirt and take it off while keeping the injured arm bent at the predetermined angle. The reversible sling shirt may also be put on and taken off all while the injured arm remains in traction, suspended by a sling.
