Are these mitts effective at preventing self-injury?
Yes, the TIDI Posey Peek-A-Boo Mitts are specifically designed as patient restraints to gently prevent self-injury and interference with critical medical treatments (such as removing tubes or lines).
Key features ensure safety and caregiver accessibility:
- Peek-A-Boo Inspection Flap: This allows staff to assess the patient’s hand or monitor site status without needing to remove the mitt.
- Secure Fit: Adjustable hook-and-loop closures provide a secure fit for virtually any wrist circumference.
The mitts are available in two functional options:

Does the inspection flap allow quick caregiver access?
Yes, the TIDI Posey Mitts feature a unique “Peek-A-Boo” inspection flap specifically designed to enhance caregiver efficiency while ensuring patient safety.
This crucial feature allows medical staff to quickly assess the patient’s hand or check the status of any monitoring site, offering several benefits:
- Quick Assessment: Caregivers can monitor the hand or site without the delay of fully unfastening the mitt.
- Maintained Containment: It allows access while ensuring the restraint integrity is preserved, minimizing the risk of patients removing essential medical tubes or causing self-harm.
This design allows for easy, fast visual checks while keeping the patient protected.
Do the mitts have secure, adjustable closures?
Yes, the TIDI Posey Peek-A-Boo Mitts feature a robust and customizable closure system to ensure patient safety and comfort. They are designed as a “One Size Fits Most” product thanks to their adjustable design.
- Secure Hook-and-Loop Closures: The mitts utilize adjustable hook-and-loop closures at the wrist. This mechanism allows caregivers to quickly and easily adjust the restraint for the necessary tightness, ensuring a secure fit while preventing the patient from removing the mitt or interfering with medical treatments.
- Accommodates Various Sizes: The highly adjustable closure system ensures the mitts can be securely fastened around virtually any wrist circumference, simplifying use across different patients.
What mitt padding and ventilation options exist?
The mitts are available in two distinct configurations to suit varied patient and clinical requirements, focusing on comfort, padding, and ventilation:
- Cloth Variant (Double Padded): This option provides extra fiber-filled padding for comprehensive, gentle coverage and maximum cushioning.
- Mesh Variant (Single Padded): Features mesh material on one side to optimize ventilation and visibility, allowing caregivers to quickly inspect the patient’s hand without full removal.
Both variants include secure, adjustable hook-and-loop closures and the unique Peek-A-Boo inspection flap for convenient hand monitoring.
How many mitts are included in a package?
Each package includes one pair of mitts.
Is the cloth variant double padded for comfort?

Does the mesh version offer enhanced ventilation?
Yes, the TIDI Posey Peek-A-Boo Mitts are available in a Mesh - Single Padded configuration specifically designed for enhanced patient comfort and visibility.
Key benefits of choosing the mesh variant include:
- Superior Ventilation: Mesh material is integrated on one side of the mitt to maximize airflow, reducing heat and maintaining patient comfort during use.
- Improved Visibility: The mesh construction allows caregivers to easily view the patient’s hand, line sites, or skin condition without relying solely on the ‘Peek-A-Boo’ inspection flap.
- Secure Fit: Like the padded cloth option, the mesh mitt uses adjustable hook-and-loop closures at the wrist to ensure a secure, one-size-fits-most fit.
