ApplicAtion

instructions

1. Place the belt around the patient’s waist

snugly. Slide an open hand (ﬂat) between

the device and the patient to ensure proper

ﬁt. e device must be snug, but not

interfere with breathing.

2. Use one of the application methods

(either in front of, or behind the patient) as

described:

a. Position the cuﬀs in front of the

patient, keep hands down by his

or her sides, and place the cuﬀs on the

adjacent wrist (ﬁgs. 1 and 2).

b. Position the cuﬀs in front of the patient,

cross the wrists and place the cuﬀs on

the adjacent wrist. is application may

not be suitable for all patients because

it provides less hand mobility and may

be uncomfortable (ﬁg. 3).

c. Position the cuﬀs behind the patient;

place the cuﬀs on the adjacent wrists

(ﬁg. 4).

APPLYING THE CUFFS:

1. Wrap the neoprene piece (the blue side

should be positioned against the skin)

around the wrist. Attach the black hook

and loop pieces together, followed by the

blue hook and loop pieces. e 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 to ensure proper

ﬁt. e cuﬀs must be snug enough to prevent

escape, but not interfere with circulation.

3. Pass the end of the wrist strap over the top of the cuﬀ and through

the lock.
