Closed Mitts (Adult Medical Mitts)

Posey® Mitts are used to help protect patients who are prone to disrupting medical treatment or to self-harm. A mitt hinders picking and tube pulling. It is considered to be a less restrictive device that should be considered and tried before more restrictive methods are used.

Our Closed Mitts offer professional caregivers a range of features and functionality.
