A device for restraining a patient, i.e., the device usually would be used in pairs with one such device being used to restrain one arm of the patient while another such device would be used to restrain his other arm. Although, the device may also be used in like fashion for restraining either of the legs, if desired. The device generally comprises four main parts, namely: a cuff part for bindable placement about either arm or leg; an anchoring part for attachment to structure of the patient\s bed, wheelchair, etc.; an elongated strap for extending the reach between the cuff part and the anchoring part, thus the anchoring part will be inaccessible to the patient; and quick release structure for effectively facilitating expeditious release of the patient when desired and for subseqently returning him to the original restraint condition with minimum effort. The quick release part preferably is situated adjacent the anchoring part so it too will be inaccessible to the patient.

A device for restraining a patient to a certain rigid structure, said device comprising adjustable cuff means for bindable placement about an extremity of the patient, elongated strap means having a proximal end affixed to said cuff means and a distal end remotely situated therefrom, anchorable means for fixable attachment to said distal end of said strap means and to said certain rigid structure which may be inaccessible to the patient, and quick release means including separable cooperating receptacle and clasp members－one of which being affixed to said distal end of said elongated strap means with the other of said members being affixed to said anchorable means－for effectively facilitating expeditious release of said anchorable means from said distal end of said strap means to allow release of the patient when desired and for subsequently returning him to the original restraint condition with minimum effort, said proximal end of said strap means being affixed to said cuff means, said adjustable cuff means includes first adjustable bindable means for facilitating an initial stabilizing condition of said cuff means about the extremity of the patient and second adjustable bindable means operable in conjunction with said first adjustable bindable means for subsequently facilitating optimum constraint of said cuff means about the extremity of the patient whereby said cuff means is prevented from tightening about the patient\s extremity in the event the patient attempts to pull said distal end of said strap means from said anchorable means.
