Pelican Arm Holder

• Designed to temporarily secure a patient's arm, aiding in daily care and management.
• Effective for controlling patients who may become aggressive or uncooperative during care routines.
• Simple and quick fitting: sling the patient's arm, pull the webbing strap over the shoulder, across the back, and fasten securely under the opposite arm.
• Allows carers to control one arm without the need for an additional arm holder, even if the patient is resisting with the other arm.
• Important as an Aid to Daily Living (ADL) and may serve as a restraint; use should be documented and approved in the patient's care plan.
• Care must be taken as patients may dislodge the sling if they move vigorously, potentially removing their arm from the holder.
• Can also be used during patient transfers, such as lifting from a bed, to ensure safety and stability.
