- Psychiatric patients at risk of self harm to prevent further injury to the body
- Patients at risk of accidentally or intentionally pulling on tubes, lines, or cables

How Do These Mittens Help with Self Injury?
These mittens use a hook and loop style fastening to reduce dexterity when attempting self injury. As a result, patients are immobilised, and cannot grip, scratch or punch themselves – keeping them safe and comfortable. This pair is therefore ideal for a wide range of professional environments, including hospitals, care homes and psychiatric wards.
