ABSTRACT:
A restraint system is disclosed for immobilizing injured patients and, more particularly, a releasable restraint using netting to restrain the patient. The patient restraint includes a pair of substantially parallel transverse straps and a pair of substantially parallel longitudinal straps connected between the transverse straps. A net is interconnected between the transverse straps and the longitudinal straps along the periphery of the net. Each transverse strap includes two releasable fastener assemblies with one releasable fastener assembly being connected to either end portion of the strap. The releasable fastener assemblies include a first connector attached to the transverse strap at a position adjacent to where the longitudinal strap is connected to the transverse strap, and a mating second connector attached to a terminal end of the transverse strap. A second embodiment of the patient restraint further includes a pair of releasable padded shoulder straps connected between the transverse straps. The patient restraint may be used in combination with a wide variety of supporting structures.
