Patient Safety Mitt (Single)
The patient safety mitt is designed to support the safety of patients with movement disorders or cognitive impairment. It offers a comfortable, humane alternative to traditional restraints to help prevent self-injury and unintentional removal of medical tubes, lines, or dressings while allowing hand ventilation and comfort.
Features
- Soft, breathable materials: cotton and polyester to minimize perspiration and skin irritation during prolonged use.
- Comfort-focused design: full coverage of the palm and fingers with a secure closure that is difficult for the patient to open unaided.
- Available in two types: options to address scratching protection or to limit grasping of objects.
- Washable and reusable for practical use.
Clinical use and benefits
- Helps prevent self-inflicted injuries such as scratching or accidental skin damage.

Intended users
- Older adults with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.
