Who Can Use the Open-Finger Padded Control Mitts?

These mitts are designed to prevent the wearer from scratching themselves or interfering medical treatments by pulling at IV lines and catheters. They are particularly useful for:

• Psychiatric patients for whom limited movement would be beneficial for their own safety and others’
• Patients with a skin condition whose scratching exacerbates the condition
• Patients who have undergone recent hand surgery and need cushioned protection

• Patients who have the urge to rip off bandages before they’re ready
• Patients whose scratching could cause self harm or worsen their wounds

How Comfortable Are These Mitts?

These gloves are designed to protect patients for their own safety without compromising their comfort. That’s why they have soft padding under the palm and fingers while the hook and loop closure allows for rapid fitting and removal by clinicians when necessary.

Protection for Patient and Clinician

The Open-Finger Control Mitts can help to protect both the user from unintentionally injuring themselves and those who treat them. Whether you’re looking after psychiatric patients or those prone to pulling at their IV tubes during treatment, these gloves offer maximum security to ensure everyone remains safe.
