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.
Cinicians may need to use additional interventions in conjunction with restraints.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:
CAUTION: Posey Keys MUST be readily available to staff at all times. In an emergency,
it is difficult to cut the cuffs with scissors to free the patient. Follow these steps to apply
device (repeat steps 1-3 on each side):
1. Bring the ends of the strap down through the inside of the
side rails so they do not interfere when the side rails are raised.
Thread the end of the strap over the top, around the frame
at least once, and through the lock. Make sure that the straps
are attached 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.
2. Pull the strap(s) snug and close the lock. Check that the lock "clicks" shut. If a lock is not
completely closed, it can pop open. Before leaving the patient's side, test the lock by
trying to open it without the key.
3. Adjust the bed strap(s) to allow desired freedom of movement, without compromising
patient or caregiver safety. Tuck any excess strap out of the patient's reach.
APPLYING THE CUFFS: (Repeat steps 1-3 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 hookand- loop pieces.
The fuzzy piece should be sandwiched between the two pieces
of hook (Fig. 2). 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. 3).
3. 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. Release the quick-release buckle, twist
buckle 180°, and reconnect (Fig. 4). Listen for a "snapping" sound.

TO UNLOCK THE CUFFS:
Insert the Posey Key into the lock and turn

NOTE: Universal Posey Keys fit all Posey locks.
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-andloop 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.
