  Polymer-Based Medical Restraints: Advances in Polymer Chemistry for Enhanced Patient Safety

  By Rajashri Bhagwat karale, Sunita Hoshedar Tata

  Abstract: Medical restraints play a crucial role in ensuring patient and staff safety during medical procedures, particularly when dealing with individuals who may be at risk of self-harm or unintentional movement. Traditional restraints, often made from rigid materials or fabric straps, present several challenges, including patient discomfort, pressure injuries, and incompatibility with advanced medical imaging techniques such as MRI and CT scans. Moreover, traditional materials may deteriorate over time, diminishing their …
