Abstract
A device for restraining patients using specially designed straps in various lengths and widths that positively and securely secure a portion or all of a patient's anatomy so as to facilitate securing patients while minimizing trauma and bruising to the patient's body during surgical procedures or in transportation in medical facilities. The invention includes a device with a length of non-allergenic fabric having a soft patient engaging surface and an opposed patient non-engaging surface, first and second opposed ends, opposed edges, and a fastener associated with the length for fastening the device to itself, the edges of the fabric being folded over to present a rolled side margin having a continuously smooth and curved margin face, with the device being sanitizable and reusable, thereby hygienically for minimizing trauma to the mobility limited body portion.
