As clinicians, achieving patient safety while maintaining efficacious workflows is a tricky balancing act. To gain deeper insight into the challenges faced by caregivers, Posey conducted a survey of nurses with at least five years of experience, attentively considering their concerns about existing medical wrist restraints. A primary issue they highlighted was limb holders that tend to slip, loosen, or allow for self-release. They also emphasized the importance of a design that is quick and intuitive to apply to both patients and beds, while ensuring patient comfort and enabling swift removal in emergencies. Taking their feedback into account, we created SureHold™—a groundbreaking advancement in soft limb holders.
Understanding the Challenges in Patient Management
As briefly mentioned above, nurses commonly face challenges with traditional limb restraints while caring for patients. The application of soft limb holders can be difficult, cumbersome, and time consuming for caregivers. Nurses, you don’t have to imagine a scenario where you spend valuable time applying a medical restraint to your patient and the bed only to have to keep readjusting, or worse, your patient self-releases and pulls out an IV or PICC line. These interruptions to care are frustrating for both patients and caregivers and are major disruptors of workflows. SureHold™ soft limb restraints are the answer.
