instructions

NOTE: ALWAYS secure both wrists to help prevent

patient release.

1. Use method a. or b. below to attach straps to the

bed (repeat steps 1-2 on each side):

a. Triangulation process; to restrict patient’s range

of motion: Separate the straps and attach them

at diﬀerent points along a movable part of the

bed frame, out of the patient’s reach (ﬁg. 1).

b. To increase patient’s range of motion: Place

the straps together and attach to a single point

along a movable part of the bed frame, 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. 2), or attach with a quick-release tie.

2790Q-Wrap the connecting strap once around a

movable part of the bed frame, 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. 3).

APPLYING THE CUFFS (repeat steps 1-4 for each limb):

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.

4). 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. 2790-Pass the end of the limb strap over the top

of the cuﬀ and through the two D-rings on the cuﬀ.

Bring the strap back over the ﬁrst ring and through the two D-rings on the cuﬀ.

2790Q- Release the quick-release buckle, twist, and reconnect (ﬁg. 5). Listen for

a “snapping” sound. Pull ﬁrmly on straps to ensure a good connection.

4. Adjust the bed strap(s) to allow desired freedom of movement, without

compromising patient or caregiver safety.
