Limb and/or body restraint

A limb and/or body restraint for use as a means to restrict the movement of an individual, particularly a patient under, or awaiting, medical care or treatment, the restraint comprising a band defined by a main elongated body member provided at one end thereof with a pair of strap members which extend longitudinally of the main body, the main body being formed by an inner and an outer sheet of soft pliable cloth material to prevent skin abrasion to the wearer thereof. Fastening strip members are provided on the opposite ends of the inner and outer sheets so as to be engaged when strapped about a limb or body, thus holding the restraint in place. Once the restraint is in place, the extended strap members are also wrapped once around the main body and then through a strap-keeper member, whereby the straps are tied to a fixed member such as the frame of a bed.
