ABSTRACT:
A patient restraint includes a plurality, preferably three, of finger traps stitched to the end of a long strap. The patient's fingers are inserted into the finger traps so the finger traps constrict in diameter when the ends are pulled. The finger traps are preferably transparent so a nurse can inspect the patient's fingers for signs of poor blood circulation. The strap preferably includes two lengths of fabric material so a bow knot can be tied to a support, such as a bed rail or frame, so the patient's hand cannot reach the throat or the patient's other hand.
