ApplicAtion
instructions
1. Thread the foam straps through the top of the board, under
the indent for the limb, and up through the other slot.
2. Straps should be threaded through the slots so that rough
area of the hook and loop faces up and away from the
baby’s skin when the strap is closed.
3. Place infant in tray and position straps close to elbows and
knees.
4. To close straps, hold one end of the strap in one hand, while
pressing down on baby’s arm or leg with the back of that
hand. Bring the opposite end of the strap across with the
other hand and fasten it snugly.
5. Discard straps contaminated with blood or other bodily
fluids.
notE: Make sure hook and loop fastener is firmly secured
before beginning procedure. If it is not secure, the baby could
wiggle loose and disrupt the procedure
.

ADVErsE rEActions
• Not for long-term use. Severe emotional, psychological,
or physical problems may occur: if the applied device
is uncomfortable; or if it severely limits movement. If
symptoms of these problems ever appear for any reason,
get help from a qualified medical authority and find a less
restrictive, product or intervention.
contrAinDicAtions:
• NEVER use on a patient:
• With a dislocation or fracture on the restrained limb; or
• If an IV or wound site could be compromised by the
device.
See the Posey Catalog for other options for such a patient.
Before use, check device for damage. Discard if you
have any questions about patient safety.
• For use during circumcision procedures to hold the baby’s
limbs to the circumstraint board. This will help prevent the
baby from jerking his limbs during the procedure.
MONITOR PER FACILITY POLICY. Check to ensure that:
• Straps cannot slide in any direction or loosen if the patient
pulls on them;
• Cuffs are properly secured. If applied too tightly,
circulation will be restricted; if applied too loosely, the
patient may be able to slip his or her limb from the device;
• Cuffs are intact, and not torn or damaged. DO NOT allow
patients to ingest product material.
• For short-term use only during circumcision procedures.
