Application
1. All mitts fit both left & right hands. Place patient’s hand in mitt, palm side on padding, top of hand facing mesh.
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.
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. Always secure the tie strap to the part of the bed that moves when the patient is raised or lowered. Never attach straps to bed rails or any part of the bed that doesn’t move when raised or lowered.
7. Raise and lock bed rails before leaving patient. Always raise and lock bed rails when patient is wearing padded mitts that have been secured to the bed frame. Never leave bed rails in lowered position when patient is unattended.
