TIDI Posey 2533 Application Instructions

Posey® Limb Holders 2533, 2552
Application Instructions for Wrist and Ankle
DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT: Padded limb holders. For bed and stretcher use only.
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 limb movement in a bed or stretcher.
• 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: The order of applying/removing the cuff to the
patient and the straps to the bed is to be determined by the clinician. Follow these
steps to apply device (repeat steps 1–2 on each side).
1. Bring the ends of the strap down through the inside of the
side rails so that they do not interfere when the side rails
are raised. Make sure the straps are attached to the frame
that moves with the patient (do not attach to side rail or
head/footboard) (Fig. 1), out of the patient's reach.
2. Thread the end of the strap over the top and around the
frame, at least once, and close the quick-release buckle.
Listen for a snapping sound. Pull firmly on straps to
ensure a secure connection (Fig. 2). If buckle does not
fit an opening, use the alternate method in (Fig. 3) by
looping the webbing through the frame opening, inserting
the buckle through the loop, sliding the male end into
the female end. To limit unwanted adjustment, tie an
overhand knot with the excess strap directly below the
quick-release buckle.
APPLYING THE CUFFS: (Repeat steps 1–4)
1. Wrap the limb holder cuff around the patient's wrist/ankle
so that the buckle and connecting strap are on the ulnar
side of the wrist or lateral malleolus of the ankle.
2. Secure the hook-and-loop fastener. Slide ONE finger (flat)
between the cuff and the inside of the patient's wrist/ankle
to ensure proper fit (Fig. 4). The strap must be
snug, but not restrict circulation.
3. Close the quick-release buckle on the cuff. Insert ONE
finger (flat) under the buckle and pull the strap snug, but
not so tight as to restrict circulation (Fig. 5). Release the
quick-release buckle, twist buckle 180°, and reconnect
(Fig. 6). Listen for a snapping sound.
4. Attach the hook end of the cuff strap to the fuzzy backing
on the cuff to keep the quick-release buckle from sliding
(Fig. 7).
ADJUSTING STRAP LENGTH: Adjust the connecting strap(s)
length from the frame to allow desired freedom of movement
without compromising patient or caregiver safety. To limit
unwanted adjustment, tie an overhand knot with the excess
strap directly below the quick-release buckle. Ensure the
remaining strap end(s) are secured and out of patient's reach.
TO REMOVE: Release the cuff from the patient. Release the anchor strap from the bed
frame.

frame that moves with the patient, out of the patient's
reach, to the left ankle.

2. Criss-cross the straps and attach the cuff secured to the
bottom left side of the frame that moves with the patient,
out of the patient's reach, to the right ankle.

PRECAUTIONS:
Fig. 5
• A clinical assessment and decision are required when used with monitoring lines
or if the patient has a wound or dislocated/fractured limb.
• Check the patient regularly to ensure that circulation is not impaired. Serious injury
may occur if the cuff restricts circulation when the limb holder is applied.

• Some patients may require additional interventions in conjunction with a
restraint in order to prevent injury to self or others:
–If the patient pulls violently against the bed straps.
Fig. 7
–To reduce the risk of the patient getting access to the line/wound/tube site.
–To prevent the patient from flailing or bucking up and down, causing self-injury.
• It is a clinical decision to decide when a restraint is no longer deemed safe.
BED SAFETY: Refer to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), or other governing
agencies outside the USA, for the most recent Hospital Bed Safety Guidelines and
the bed manufacturer's instructions for use.
