The Wrist/Ankle Restraint – Padded is designed for quick and easy application on patients. Its padded cuff can be fastened and unfastened as needed, ensuring that patients are not unnecessarily restrained when calm.
This product is sold in pairs and can be used by placing the restraint around the patient’s wrist or ankle. It is important to select the appropriate cuff size to ensure a secure fit. Once in place, the webbing should be secured around the bed or trolley frame in a suitable manner.
To prevent patients from sliding down the bed, one wrist should be secured near the top of the bed while the other is secured near the hip area. If the patient needs to be restrained for a longer period of time, alternating the wrist restrained near the top of the bed is recommended. When securing the ankles, wrap the webbing around the end of the bed frame to prevent kicking or sliding up the bed.
