Device Story

Kenad Limb Holders are protective restraints designed to limit patient limb movement. The device consists of an ankle/wrist cuff (polyurethane foam with Velcro), an ankle/wrist strap, a connector strap, a quick-release buckle, and a bed strap. The cuff wraps around the patient's limb, secured by Velcro and an adjustable strap with a metal buckle. The connector strap attaches to the bed strap via a quick-release buckle, which is anchored to an immovable object. Slack is adjusted to hold the limb close to the bed. Used in clinical settings to prevent patient injury or interference with medical procedures. The device is operated by healthcare staff. Benefit includes patient safety and protection during treatment or examination.

No clinical trials were conducted. Evidence is based on post-market performance data from over 150,000 pairs sold over 5 years, representing over 300,000 patient contacts. Zero reports of patient injury or product failure were received during this period, supporting the safety and efficacy of the device.

General Description The Kenad Limb Holders subject to this Premarket Notification are depicted in the figure at ATTACHMENT 6. As depicted in this figure, Kenad Limb Holders are assemblies of the following modules: Ankle/Wrist Cuff, Ankle/Wrist Strap, Connector Strap, Quick Release Buckle and Bed Strap. The Ankle/Wrist Cuff is a rectangular, two sided material. On the side which contacts skin, the cuff is made from blue or white polyurethane foam. At one end of the rectangle, a patch of Velcro hooks are stitched to the foam with 12 pound nylon thread. Heat bonded to the foam back is a piece of blue or white Velcro pile. Except for Black Limb Holder with Removable Cuff (Catalog # 50-1600), the Ankle/Wrist Strap is affixed to the Ankle/Wrist Cuff by sewing using 12 pound nylon thread. For Black Limb Holder, a Velcro hook strip is sewn to one end of the Ankle/Wrist Strap. The Velcro hook strip then affixes to the Velcro pile of the cuff. Affixed by sewing to one end of the Ankle/Wrist Strap is a polished metal buckle for locking the Ankle/Wrist strap in place around the ankle/wrist. The Connector Strap is affixed by sewing with 12 pound nylon thread to the Ankle/Wrist Strap. Affixed by sewing to the other end of the Connector Strap is the female or male end of the Quick Release Buckle. {2} The Bed Strap comes as either a loop able or threadable end for anchoring to a fixed object. Affixed by sewing to one end of the Connector Strap is the complementary female or male end of the Quick Release Buckle. The material used to make the straps is woven polypropylene. The polypropylene color is either black or white, and its width is either a nominal 1 or 1.5 inch. The variations are outlined in more detail in the Table also included at ATTACHMENT 6. ## 4.2. How Limb Holders Function The Ankle/Wrist Cuff is placed around the ankle/wrist, and held in place by Velcro. The cuff is then surrounded by the Ankle/Wrist Strap, and held in place by a buckle. The Bed Strap is affixed to an immovable object either by looping or threading, and the Bed Strap is connected to the Connector Strap via the Quick Release Buckle. Slack is removed from the Connector Strap so that the limb is comfortably held close to the bed. ## 5. INTENDED USE (807.92(a)(5)) ### 5.1.
