Abstract: A device for restraining a patient, i.e., the device usually would be used in pairs with one such device being used to restrain one arm of the patient while another such device would be used to restrain his other arm. Although, the device may also be used in like fashion for restraining either of the legs, if desired. The device generally comprises four main parts, namely: a cuff part for bindable placement about either arm or leg; an anchoring part for attachment to structure of the patient's bed, wheelchair, etc.; an elongated strap for extending the reach between the cuff part and the anchoring part, thus the anchoring part will be inaccessible to the patient; and quick release structure for effectively facilitating expeditious release of the patient when desired and for subseqently returning him to the original restraint condition with minimum effort. The quick release part preferably is situated adjacent the anchoring part so it too will be inaccessible to the patient.
