Papoose board

• Papoose Boards are an  indispensable aid in for hospitals, doctors offices, dentists offices and any facility that needs to temporarily restrain patients for medical treatment

These patient immobilization boards solve the frustrating problem of temporarily restraining injured, frightened children, special needs patients, as a well as teenagers and adults for medical treatment

The patient is held safely, cannot escape, and is protected from self injury.

A struggling, frantic child can be completely immobilized in less than 60 seconds on a Papoose Board

Canvas flap set allows any part of the patient to be selectivity exposed for treatment while patient is securely immobilized

The board is quickly and easily applied using three sets of opposing canvas flaps, with Velcro fasteners, that fold over the body

The diagonal shape of each Papoose Board causes the flaps to crisscross, providing a snug-fitting restraint

Separate arm straps hold each arm while an adjustable strap can be used to immobilize the patient's head

Less alarming than other types of patient restraint systems including manual restraints

The Patient is immobilized so quickly and firmly that futile struggling is discouraged

Unlike manual restraints, the Papoose Board does not cast the caregiver in the role of being the child's antagonist

Papoose Boards can be easily cleaned with liquid disinfectant or soap and water while the flap sets and arm straps can be machine-washed

CAUTION: Use Papoose Board Medical restraints only under the supervision of a licensed medical practitioner and only when necessary for the safety and protection of the patient is needed. Use Papoose Boards only for temporary restraint never for continuous or long-term restraint. Make sure the restraint does not impair the patients breathing or circulation, or cause overheating or positional injuries. Watch for risk of aspiration when the patient is in the prone position.
