The device consists of a main body restraint with flaps and hook-and-loop fasteners to secure the torso, a headpiece, and a cushion with an arcuate indentation for the buttocks, enclosed in a pillowcase with leg-securing flaps. The system uses adhesive material to maintain position on a standard dental chair. Operated by dental professionals in a clinical setting, the device physically restricts patient movement to prevent injury during procedures. By controlling side-to-side and up-and-down motion, it allows the clinician to perform dental work on uncooperative or fearful children safely. The device is designed to be comfortable for the patient while providing the clinician with a stable environment for treatment. ## Clinical Evidence Clinical performance was evaluated through observation of over 1,000 pediatric patients with behavior ranging from uncooperative and fearful to hysterically out-of-control. The device successfully managed patient movement, allowing dental procedures to be performed safely. No specific statistical metrics (e.g., p-values, CIs) were reported; evidence is based on clinical utility and successful management of patient motion in a dental office setting. ## Technological Characteristics Restraint system comprising soft cloth wrap with non-slip rubber backing and hook-and-loop closures. Includes foam cushion enclosed in hospital ticking vinyl and cotton outer jacket. Attaches to standard dental chairs via straps and adhesive backing. Non-electronic, mechanical device. Sterilization via laundering and bleaching. ## Regulatory Identification A protective restraint is a device, including but not limited to a wristlet, anklet, vest, mitt, straight jacket, body/limb holder, or other type of strap, that is intended for medical purposes and that limits the patient's movements to the extent necessary for treatment, examination, or protection of the patient or others. ## Predicate Devices - Olympic Papoose Board ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
