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:
Use method a. or b. below to attach straps to frame
(repeat steps 1-2 on each side):
1a. Triangulation process; to restrict patient's range of
motion: separate the straps and attach at different points
along the frame that moves with the patient (Fig. 1) out
of patient's reach (do not attach to side rail or head/
footboard) (Fig. 2).
1b. To increase patient's range of motion: place the
straps together and attach to a single point along a part
of the frame that moves with the patient, out of the
patient's reach.
2. 2790: Wrap the connecting strap to the frame by pulling
the strap back between the first and second D-ring (Fig. 3).
2790Q: Wrap the connecting strap once around the frame
that moves with the patient, out of the patient's reach.
Close the quick-release buckle. Listen for a "snapping"
sound. Pull firmly on straps to ensure a good connection
(Fig. 4).
APPLYING THE CUFFS: (Repeat steps 1-4 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. 5).
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. (Fig. 6)

two D-rings on the cuff. Bring the strap back over the first ring and through the
two D-rings on the cuff. Slide one finger flat between the cuff and the strap.

for a "snapping" sound.
4. 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.
