Description
WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?
The Arm Wrap is used to restrain the arms.
This product is an ADL (Aid to Daily Living). It can also be interpreted as a restraint. It is recommended to approve and document the use of the Arm Wrap in the patient’s care plan. When lifting the patient during the day, an alternative may be the Arm Holder, as this will hold one arm, while the carer looks after the other arm.
WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?
It may be used to help some stroke patients and people who may punch or pinch their carers. This may be when they are being fitted with a sling when getting out of bed.
BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The patient is log rolled in bed so the Arm Wrap can be placed behind them and then attached together over their arms. As soon as the patient has been lifted into their chair, it should be removed.
WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT MADE FROM?
Cotton, hook & loop tape.

This item may be considered a Restraint Item. Only use a Restraint if all other alternatives have been tried. Ensure authorisation for the Restraint’s use has been approved by a therapist or doctor. Restrained patients should be kept under observation, as their behaviour may change and another Restraint item may be more appropriate. Restraints are a prescribed item. The incorrect Restraint, or the correct Restraint used incorrectly, may cause injury or even death.
