HAND-ARM RESTRAINT MITT Inventor : Etienette S. Baijnath ABSTRACT Previously invented restraining mitts are known to fully or partially splint or immobilize the wearer's fingers. The mitt of the present invention has a cavity sufficiently large to permit the wearer's hand to be freely movable therein, to the extent of flexion and full extension of the fingers for optimum comfort at all times. The cavity of the preferred mitt is defined by a sufficiently firm and, or thick shape retaining, cup shaped wall made of materials such as firm, thick heat mouldable foam to prevent the wearer from grasping objects beyond the mitt. The top and bottom ends of the wall are narrowed in relation to its middle portion for good fit and easy entry into the sleeve of a hospital gown. The given mitt may be worn by a child, a confused, psychotic, or other appropriate patient or wearer for the prevention of the use of his/her hand, in cases where there is concern that an irresponsible person as given above, may be endangered by removing, against medical advice, necessary treatment devices such as dressings, intravenous needles, input or output tubes etc. In addition the mitt has a restraning strap that can be tied to a fixed structure to-further protect the wearer, and others by preventing him/her from climbing out of bed or striking out at others. -I-
