Cuff dimensions, including length and width, play a key role in patient comfort and restraint effectiveness. Wider cuffs distribute pressure more evenly, reducing the risk of skin irritation or injury, while narrower cuffs may allow for more precise control. The best cuff dimensions depend on the patient’s size and the specific limb being restrained. For instance, the Medline Economy Patient Safety Limb Holders offer a 9"L x 3"W cuff, which is a balanced size for both security and comfort on wrists or ankles. The availability of different cuff dimensions ensures that caregivers can select the right fit for each individual, providing both effective restraint and patient well-being when using restraint mitts or limb restraints.
