ABSTRACT:
An improved body restraint comprising a vest body having a front panel and a pair of separable back panels. A first strap is connected to the lower edge of each back panel and extends transversely across the vest body and is received within a loop or slot in the other back panel. The ends of the first straps are adapted to be attached to an outside object, such as the side rails of a bed. Second straps are connected to the vest body at locations beneath each arm opening, and each second strap extends diagonally across the vest body and is adapted to be attached to the head rail of the bed. The body restraint will securely restrain a patient and yet the diagonally extending straps permit the patient to move from side-to-side without danger of release. During movement of the patient, tension is concentrated under the arms to eliminate any possibility of stress being concentrated on the neck of the patient.
