ApplicAtion
instructions
1. Place the cuffs at wrist or ankle position.
2. 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.
read the end of the strap over the top,
around the frame, and through the two
square rings. Pass the strap back between
the first and second ring (fig. 1). Make sure
that the straps are attached to a movable
part of the stretcher frame, out of the patient’s reach.
3. Pull the strap snug.
4. Position the patient on the stretcher.
ApplYinG tHE cuFFs (repeat steps 1-2 for each limb):
1. Wrap the neoprene piece (the blue or red
side should be positioned against the skin)
around the wrist/ankle. Attach the black
hook and loop pieces together, followed by
the blue or red hook and loop pieces. e
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. e cuffs must
be snug enough to prevent escape, but not interfere with circulation.
MONITOR PER FACILITY POLICY. Check to ensure that:
