Dementia Restraint Gloves - 2PCS, Control Mitts Safety Hand Glove, Restraint Mitts, Dementia Products for elderly

These gloves are a lifesaver. I'm telling you they are a lifesaver

When a dementia patient is nearing the end it is almost impossible to communicate instructions. When changing attends it is common for end-stage dementia patients to grab their caregiver's wrists, try to reach into their attends or occasionally become aggressive during cleaning. These little mittens were so lovely. The family could place them on the hands assuring that they will help to keep the hands warm while we clean the family member up. They were received so well by our family member and we were able to do a quality cleaning job each morning and night (and other times as needed). The center has these soft cushy cotton fillings for the patient to squeeze. Then after cleaning just remove and put away. It is important to remember--this is a temporary tool to use when tending to the dementia patient's needs. THIS SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A LONG TERM RESTRAINT! HOSPICE is not allowed to use these tools any more because of abuse. This is all about caring lovingly for the family member in need of our love and support.

I loved the mitts for my male super-senior rambunctious relative who suffers with dementia at times. My only problem is he can eventually wiggle his hand out of them so i had to buy some cut chains and 2 small gold locks from the hardware store to put around the mitted wrist so he can't get out of them...and this worked. I only need to do this while I do our household errands and remove them when I return home.

Outstanding product, really helped

My wife has dementia and she still manages to get the gloves off. I tried several ways to secure them and tied them differently without success.

I have a husband with stage 6 Alzheimer's. Every morning the bed would be wet, however his diaper and booster pad would be totally dry. I finally figured out he was pulling his penis out and peeing outside the diaper then going back to sleep. Since using these at night, that hasn't happened once. He also loves his kitty and his kitty loves him. I've noticed scratches on his arm several times and our cat never scratches us. I started watching them and when the cat would curl up on his lap he'd hold him and pet him. But when the cat wanted to get down he'd forcefully hold him causing the cat to have to fight to get off his lap. One day I witnessed him putting his hands around the cats neck to hold him place and the cat was crying. I screamed a him to let him go and since I had just gotten these gloves, I thought they could serve another purpose by keeping my cat from being injured but still allow them to snuggle. And it has worked as well. They don't interfere with him using the handrails on the toilet. He can grip them with no problem and they also have stopped him from crushing my fingers when I walk him down the hall.

Only useful if lasso'd to a bed post, but not for a mobile person who scratches. You can protrude nails through breathable mesh side no matter how worn, to point where the breathable webbing of glove itself becomes an abrasive scratching surface in combination with any nail pressing up from underneath it. If it was padded on both sides it would work, but not this. Picture your nail extending out the breathable mesh side, now rub it against your skin. It's not not just a nail, but a whole abrasive mesh that can scratch you.

my mother had dementia and had a habit of taking out her oxygen and her pick tube for her IVs. nothing seemed to work and she would always get mad. with these gloves she was unable to undo her pick tube and she did not undo her oxygen. they were very friendly restraint rather than tying her to the hospital bed which is unacceptable. that's what they did in the hospital and they ought to be ashamed of themselves
