Application
1. All mitts fit both left & right hands. Place patient’s hand in mitt, palm side on padding, top of hand facing mesh. Make certain that each finger is in a separate channel.
2. Wrap strap around patient’s wrist, making certain to pass wrist strap through loop on top side of mitt.
3. Secure the mitt to the resident’s wrist. The slider buckle comes pre-threaded. Wrist strap should fit snugly.
Caution: Do not overtighten. Doing so could cut off circulation to patient’s hand. You should be able to slip one finger between mitt cuff and wrist. Loose end of strap can be secured with hook & loop. In the event the
pre-threaded webbing comes out of the slider buckle, re-thread the slider buckle.
Warning: Hook & Loop are only provided to secure loose end of strap.
Hook & Loop is NOT a substitute for slider buckle
4. If patient’s arm and hand movement need to be restricted, use the set of loop straps supplied with the mitts. Thread non-looped end of strap through loop on back of mitt.
5. Thread the non-looped end of strap through loop on end of strap.
6. Tie strap to wheelchair, bed, or geri-chair.
7. Raise and lock bed rails before leaving patient.
