Posey
Application Instructions
DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT: Double padded mitt with inspection flap.
INTENDED USE:
• To protect 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 by
limiting hand movement.
• Follow your hospital's restraint policies and procedures that are compliant
with USA CMS guidelines and state laws, or other governing agencies outside
the USA.
CONTRAINDICATIONS: None
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS: (Repeat steps 1-3 for each mitt)
NOTE: Product is designed for use with a connecting strap (item 2809)
(visit tidiproducts.com).
1. Insert the patient's hand into the mitt, palm
down. When the inspection flap is open, the
back of the hand should be visible (Fig. 1).
2. Wrap the wrist strap around the smallest part of
the patient's wrist, through the fabric loop and
then the plastic ring. Secure it with the hook-
and-loop fastener.
3. Slide ONE finger (flat) between the mitt and the inside of the patient's wrist to
ensure proper fit. The strap must be snug, but not compromise circulation.
NOTE: Follow steps 4-5 for use of optional mitt connecting strap (hospital bed use
only) to help prevent the patient from removing the device or inflicting self-injury:
4. Wrap the strap around the patient's wrist or pass it through the loops on
the mitt.
5. Use Posey quick-release tie (see drawings on reverse) to secure the end of the
strap along the frame that moves with the patient out of patient's reach (do not
attach to side rail or head/footboard). Tie strap at a point midway between the
patient's wrist and elbow, out of the patient's reach.
TO VIEW HAND/FINGERS:
6. Reach under the inspection flap, detach the hook-and-loop fastener, and
pull back the flap to expose the hand.
7. To close the inspection flap, tuck into the end of the mitt and press the
hook-and-loop closure together firmly.
PRECAUTIONS:
• A clinical assessment and decision are required when used with monitoring
lines or if patient has a wound or dislocated/fractured limb.
• Ensure that mitts are properly secured. If applied too tightly, circulation will be
restricted; if applied too loosely, the patient may be able to slip his or her limb
from the device.

CAUTION: RX Requirements.
Certain types of hand mitts can be considered a restraint. Pinning or otherwise
attaching those same mitts to bedding or using a wrist restraint in conjunction
with the hand mitts would meet the definition of restraint and the RX
requirements would apply. Refer to USA CMS Interpretive Guidelines 482.13(e).
WARNING:
Additional or different body or limb restraints may be needed
(visit tidiproducts.com):
• Some patients may require additional interventions in conjunction with
this device in order to prevent injury to self or others.
– To reduce the risk of the patient getting access to the line/wound/
tube site.
• It is a clinical decision to decide when a restraint is no longer deemed safe.
