Additional Information
Once in place, the webbing should be secured around the bed or trolley frame in a suitable manner. To prevent patients from sliding down the bed, one wrist should be secured near the top of the bed while the other is secured near the hip area. If the patient needs to be restrained for a longer period of time, alternating the wrist restrained near the top of the bed is recommended. When securing the ankles, wrap the webbing around the end of the bed frame to prevent kicking or sliding up the bed.
If this product is purchased for use in a private home, we require authorisation from a suitable person. This is to ensure it will be used correctly and safely by the family and/or carers, and that using it will not be dangerous. Examples of a suitable person who is able to sign the letter are: Occupational Therapist; Physiotherapist; Clinical Nurse Manager; Registered Nurse; Doctor; or another suitably qualified person. Please return a copy to us when ordering. Note: This letter is not required when we send restraints to aged care facilities or hospitals, because their staff are already trained in their safe use.

Important
Restraints are a prescribed item. Care Facilities such as Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Aged Care Facilities etc., may order this item. For private sales to a family member, written authorisation is needed from a qualified therapist or medical doctor, approving the use of the correct Restraint for the patient's current condition. Remember if the patient's condition changes, then a different type of Restraint may be required. It is necessary to ensure the family are aware of the proper use of Restraints, as these can be dangerous if not used correctly.
