Actimove Y Tabs (14)

Actimove Y Tabs are Y-tab closures that provide effective vertical support to the collar bone and upper limb area and help hold a secure clinical position. Supplied as a pack of 14 Y-Tabs.

Why choose Actimove Y Tabs

The Y shape is what does the work. A straight tab pulls in one direction; a Y-tab splits the load across two anchor points, which is how it produces vertical support rather than simply cinching a strap tighter. On a clavicle that distinction matters, because the aim is to hold the shoulders back and up, not to compress the chest.

They exist because closures are the consumable part of a support. Adhesive tabs lose grip with skin oils, sweat and repeated adjustment, and a clavicle support is worn for weeks - so a support that is otherwise sound stops working because its fasteners have given up. Having 14 Actimove Y Tabs on hand means replacing the tab rather than the whole brace.

They help facilitate a secure clinical position, which is the point of a clavicle support - a position set by a clinician and then maintained through daily wear. A closure that slips lets the position drift a little each day, and nobody notices until the follow-up appointment.
