FAQ Overview
These are some frequently asked questions about the use of Stuckey Straps. Any other questions should be directed to your current representative, or send them to stuckey@stuckeystraps.com .

Why use Stuckey Straps* instead of Wrist Restraints?

Wrist restraints can interfere with circulation.

Medications administered through IVs in the hand can extravasate (i.e., back-up into the tissues) causing permanent tissue, nerve and muscle damage if the wrist restraint is too tight.

IVs and arterial lines can be dislodged by wrist restraints. It is expensive to restart an IV, especially if the patient has bad veins.

What if the patient's fingers swell - is this a contra-indication of use?

No. The finger-tubes expand naturally with the fingers.

Can Stuckey Straps* be used on a combative patient?

No. They are not recommended for use with this type of patients

Do Stuckey Straps* come in pediatric sizes?

Not yet. That's next. The standard size will work with most young patients if a skin prep is used.
