Application Instructions for Wrist and Ankle
DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT: Padded limb restraints with double security closure.
For bed and stretcher use only.
INTENDED USE:
•
Patients assessed to be at risk of disrupting life-saving treatments (e.g., chronic tube pulling)
or in danger of injury to themselves or to others.
•
Follow your hospital's restraint policies and procedures which are in compliance with USA
CMS guidelines and state laws, or other governing agencies outside the USA.
CONTRAINDICATIONS: Do not use this device with someone who has continued highly
aggressive or combative behavior, self-destructive behavior, or deemed to be an immediate
risk to others or to self. Clinicians may need to use additional interventions in conjunction
with restraints.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Follow these steps to apply device (repeat steps 1-2 for each side):
1. Attach the female end of the quick-release buckle (short strap) to the frame that moves
with the patient (Fig. 1) (do not attach to side rail or head/footboard), out of the patient's
reach. Secure by feeding the female end through the loop in the strap. You may also wrap
the connecting strap once around the frame, to move the buckle out of the patient's reach
(Fig. 2).
2. Insert the male end of the connecting strap into the female end of the short strap. Listen
for a "snapping" sound. Pull firmly on straps to ensure a good connection.
APPLYING THE CUFFS: (Repeat steps 1-5 for each side):
1. Wrap the neoprene piece around wrist/ankle so the buckle
and connecting strap is on the ulnar side of the wrist or lateral
malleolus of the ankle. Attach the black hook-and-loop pieces
together and pull back the black pull tab on the blue or red
fuzzy piece, followed by the blue or red hook-and-loop pieces.
The fuzzy piece should be sandwiched between the two pieces
of hook (Fig. 3). Be sure to overlap at least one inch (3 cm).
2. Press the hook-and-loop closure together firmly and
make sure it adheres securely. Slide ONE finger (flat)
between the cuff and the inside of the patient's wrist/ankle
to ensure proper fit.
3. Secure the quick-release buckle on the cuff. Slide ONE finger
(flat) between the cuff and the inside of the patient's wrist/ankle
to ensure proper fit (Fig 4). The strap must be snug, but not
compromise circulation.
4. Close the quick-release buckle on the cuff. Insert ONE finger
(flat) under the buckle and pull the strap snug, but not so
tight as to restrict circulation (Fig. 5). Release the quick-release
buckle, twist buckle 180°, and reconnect (Fig 6). Listen for a
"snapping" sound.
5. Adjust the connecting strap(s) length from the frame to allow
desired freedom of movement without compromising patient
or caregiver safety. Ensure the remaining strap end(s) are
secured and out of the reach of the patient.

PRECAUTIONS:
•
A clinical assessment and decision are required when used with monitoring lines or
if patient has a wound or dislocated/fractured limb.
•
Check the patient regularly to ensure that circulation is not impaired. Serious injury may
occur if the cuffs restricts circulation when the limb holder is applied.
•
Before each use, check cuffs and straps for cracks, tears, and/or excessive wear or stretch,
broken buckles or locks, and/or that hook-and-loop adheres securely as these may allow
patient to remove cuff. Discard if device is damaged or if unable to lock.
•
WARNING: Additional or different body or limb restraints may be needed
(visit tidiproducts.com):
— If the patient pulls violently against the bed straps.
— To reduce the risk of the patient getting access to the line/wound/tube site.
— To prevent the patient from flailing or bucking up and down and causing self-injury.
BED SAFETY:
Refer to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), or other governing agencies outside
the USA, for the most recent Hospital Bed Safety Guidelines and the bed manufacturer's
Instructions for Use.
