Thorough Fixation in a Gentle Way

Handcuffs and transport belts offer safety as well but especially when worn longer they can leave pressure marks and inflict injuries. The freedom of movement is restricted yet finger nails for example can still be used in order to injure others or inflect injuries on oneself. In a strait jacket this is not possible due to the separately fixated behind the back. Attempts of manipulation are effectively prevented as well as attempts at flight, attacks and self inflicted injuries. Because of this advantages strait jackets are suited for different uses. For example they can be put to use on individuals which are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, suffer from psychiatric illnesses or are especially aggressive. Another advantage is that the straight jacket is covering the complete upper body. The pressure is distributed equally. Even during passive or aggressive resistant acts and / or even defense and attacks there are no injurie-inducing restrictions. Responsible for this advantage ist he durable and resistant material. The optimally placed fasteners allo for an adjusted fixation and a high degree of safety contribute to the security. After pulling on the sleeves the jacket is closed on the back of the arrested individual through a zipper. In addition adjustable straps are responsible for a safe fastening. They do not only secure the sleeves but also the collar and the upper body. Furthermore, the strait jacket can be fixed around the legs. Two straps in the groin are holding the jacket in the correct position. Six straps around the upper body allow for an optimal adjustment to chest and stomach. The straps along the collar like the straps around the legs keeps the jacket in position and keeps it pulled tight. Belts and straps can be adjusted separately and steplessly. Because the strait jacket might have to be worn for a longer period of time, it has to fulfill several different standards and meet special requirements. Including, for example, easy to clean and durable materials. The fabric also has to be breathable and withstand friction for a longer period of time. Individual and steplessly adjustable straps and belts are another significant advantage and important for safety. Because of them the straight jacket in white can fit tightly and safe but does not constrict or builds up too much pressure. Fabric that is washable at high temperatures is important as well. Because it is possible that the jacket will have direct contact to bodily fluids.
