## 2. Name of Device:
Ankle Restraint System
## 3. Name of Predicate Device(s)
Ankle Restraint System
## 4. Description of Device
In recent years there has been considerable effort in the health care community to assure that restraints are used only when needed, usually with patient consent and that the least restrictive restraint be used. Morrison Medical Products has developed the Ankle Restraint System to help serve in this purpose. The Ankle Restraint System is designed for situations requiring patient control. The Ankle Restraint System is a restraint system that secures the patient’s ankles in a fixed position. It consists of two individual ankle restraints that are permanently attached at a specific distance apart from each other to a long security strap. The security strap is constructed using a nylon woven webbing that is 2 inches wide and 17 inches long. Straps attached to both ends of the security strap secure the ankle restraint system to a cot or stretcher. The individual ankle restraints are also constructed using a nylon woven webbing. A nylon hook and loop closure is secured to the webbing and is used to securely close the ankle restraint.
## 5. Statement of Intended Use
The Ankle Restraint System is intended to be used in situations requiring patient control while the patient is lying on a cot or stretcher. The Ankle Restraint System is intended to secure the patient’s ankles by keeping them in a fixed position.
