Short Description

These Mitts are made from thick padding and breathable material. They are designed to prevent patients from pulling out IV tubes, drips etc. The Padded Mitt is thick enough to stop the patient holding the tubing. The wearer's hand is placed inside the Mitt, with their fingers separated by the stitching. A hook & loop strap secures the Mitt around the wrist.
