PPE containment strap

A restraint strap is a Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) designed to immobilize or restrict a person's movements in a controlled and safe manner. This equipment is widely used in hospital settings, clinical settings, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers and industrial sectors where there is a risk of falls or uncontrolled behavior. Restraint straps can be applied to wheelchairs, beds or positioning chairs. The main objective is to protect both the user and those around them, ensuring comfort and compliance with ethical and legal standards.

The correct use of a restraint strap requires adequate training, knowledge of current regulations and analysis of the specific context in which it is to be used. Before use, it is necessary to check the condition of the equipment, adjust the straps to the user's body comfortably but firmly, and ensure that the restraint does not compromise circulation or cause discomfort. In a hospital setting, the use of the restraint strap to immobilize patients must be supervised by trained professionals. RAG Tailors stands out for offering restraint straps with clear instructions and superior quality, to ensure safe and effective application.

There are several types of PPE restraint straps, depending on the application and the need for immobilization. Among the most common models are restraint belts for wheelchairs, immobilization straps for hospital beds, thoracic and abdominal restraints, or safety straps for upper and lower limbs. In industrial safety contexts, the straps can be adapted to prevent falls or control movements in risk areas. RAG Tailors offers a variety of restraint straps for different contexts, with a focus on ergonomics, safety and durability of materials.

To extend the lifespan and ensure the effectiveness of restraint straps, it is essential to maintain an inspection and maintenance routine. After each use, the integrity of the seams, buckles and fastening straps should be checked. Cleaning should be carried out with neutral products, following the manufacturer's instructions, without using abrasive chemicals. Storing in a dry place, away from humidity and excessive heat, also helps to preserve the equipment. RAG Tailors recommends that restraint straps be checked periodically, especially in environments of frequent use, to ensure continued protection and compliance with safety standards.

The main difference between a restraint strap for hospital use and a restraint strap for industrial safety lies in the purpose and technical characteristics of the equipment. In the hospital sector, the restraint strap is designed to keep patients stable and prevent accidents resulting from involuntary movements, prioritizing the user's comfort. In industrial environments, the restraint PPE is designed to withstand demanding environments and prevent falls or incidents during equipment handling. Both must comply with specific standards and be used by trained professionals. RAG Tailors offers solutions adapted to each situation, with a focus on safety and comfort.

Yes. As Personal Protective Equipment, restraint straps must comply with the requirements defined by applicable European and international standards.
