The Mitts – Velour Lined help prevent people from hurting themselves and carers.

About the Mitts – Velour Lined

We use two materials quilted together to make this product.

The outer Velour material is soft so if the Patient rubs themselves, it should not harm the skin. The special breathable cotton inner lining prevents sweating.

A Hook & Loop Tape fastening secures the Mitt around the wrist.

Restraints are a prescribed item. Care Facilities such as Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Aged Care Facilities etc., may order this item. For private sales to a family member, written authorisation is needed from a qualified therapist or medical doctor, approving the use of the correct Restraint for the patient’s current condition. Remember if the patient’s condition changes, then a different type of Restraint may be required. It is necessary to ensure the family are aware of the proper use of Restraints, as these can be dangerous if not used correctly.
