Posey 8168XS SecureSleeves Protector

The Posey SecureSleeve is a multi-purpose external arm splint designed to help reduce patients' arm movements without the use of rigid splints.

• Patients assessed requiring an external limb split to immobilize a limb or extremity.
• Follow your hospitals restraint policies and procedures which are in compliance with CMS guidelines and state laws.

Posey SecureSleeves

Easily applied with hook-and-loop closure. May be pinned or clipped to the patients sleeve to help prevent sliding. Filled with tiny, flame retardant polystyrene beads. Translucent fabric allows the splint to stay in place during X-rays.

Application Instructions

• Open the SecureSleeve Protector by releasing the hook-and-loop adjustment straps.
• Orient the sleeve so that the plastic buckles are positioned towards the patient. Infant sized sleeves will orient the strap towards the patient.
• Adjust the sleeve to the desired position on the limb. The sleeve should be centered over the elbow with the opening towards the inside of the arm. For leg application, the sleeve should be centered over the knee with the opening towards the front of the leg.
• Secure the sleeve by threading the hook-and-look strap through the plastic buckle and securing back onto itself. To secure an infant sized sleeve, wrap the hook-and-loop strap around the limb and attach to the corresponding hook-and-loop strip. Leave enough room to easily insert two fingers between the device and the patients limb to maintain adequate circulation.
