A dispensing gun for at least two fluid components comprises a gun body having a front section and a middle section. Two needles each have a valve on a forward wall, a socket at a rear section, and a flow path running from the socket to the forward wall. The forward walls of the two needles are received in a flow connector located in the front section. Hoses are connected to the sockets of the two needles and fixed in place relative to a back wall of the gun body. The needles are located in the middle section and move between a dispensing position and a safety position. The fluid components are handled within the interior parts of the gun and do not contact the gun body itself.

A shoulder sling is provided for the treatment of, for example, gleno-humeral dislocations and subluxations, capsular shifts, postoperative rotator cuff repair, postoperative Bankart procedures and soft tissue strains and repairs. The sling includes a support pillow abuts the wearer's torso, and a pouch that receives the wearer's arm. A plurality of straps suspend the pillow and pouch from the wearer's non-treatment shoulder. One of the straps prevents the pillow from shifting relative to the user, thus securely maintaining the wearer's arm at desired angles of abduction and external rotation. The pillow further includes an attached exercise grip and an indicator line that aids a physician in properly fitting the sling to the wearer.
