ApplicAtion

instructions

1. Wrap the limb holder cuﬀ around the

patient’s wrist so the metal ring is

on the ulnar side of the wrist

(opposite the thumb) (ﬁg. 1).

2. Secure the hook and loop fastener.

Slide ONE ﬁnger (ﬂat) between the

cuﬀ and the inside of the patient’s

wrist to ensure proper ﬁt (ﬁg. 2). e

strap must be snug, but not

compromise circulation.

3. Bring both connecting straps around

the limb, one clockwise and one

counterclockwise, and feed them

through the metal ring.

4. Place the straps together and attach to a single point along

a movable part of the bed frame, out of the patient’s reach,

with quick-release ties.

5. Adjust the bed strap(s) to allow desired freedom of

movement, without compromising patient or caregiver

safety.

NOTE: To remove cuﬀs, untie the straps and release hook and

loop fasteners.
