Elite Restraint Bag (ERB)

Durable, Trackable, Cost-Saving

An innovative solution to eliminate restraint loss and reduce long-term costs, the ERB ensures full set returns from laundry and streamlines department-level organization. Built for durability and trusted by top hospitals, it transforms how reusable restraints are managed.

Revolutionizing Reusable Restraint Management

The Elite Restraint Bag (ERB) was developed in collaboration with leading hospital systems including Providence, Nebraska Health, Dartmouth, and Mass General. These partners all faced the same issue: transitioning back to multi-use restraints to reduce long-term costs—only to experience high loss rates during laundering cycles.

The ERB was designed to solve this problem, and it’s delivered measurable success: zero restraint loss in multiple systems over multi-year periods.

Trusted by Leading Health Systems

Hospitals using the Elite Restraint Bag have reported:

  • Zero loss of restraints

  • Significant cost reduction

  • Improved organization and accountability across departments

This isn’t just a bag, it’s a smarter system for managing reusable medical equipment.

Smart Design for Operational Efficiency

Hospitals typically require four restraints per patient in the ER or OR. While single-use restraints are convenient, they’re also costly over time. Multi-use options are more cost-effective—but only if hospitals can ensure their return from the laundry process. The ERB makes that possible.

  • Secure containment: Keeps full sets of restraints (and keys) together throughout laundering.

  • Custom labeling included: Hospital and department names or numbers are printed on each bag at no additional cost, ensuring accurate redistribution.

  • Loss prevention: Enables departments to receive back exactly what was sent out—every time.

Durability that Goes the Distance

The ERB is built to withstand the rigorous demands of hospital use:

  • 2-year lifecycle

  • Designed to endure weekly laundering

  • Proven to maintain integrity over time

Due to its exceptional durability, hospitals have also started using the ERB to transport non-sterile instruments and other reusable items alongside restraints.

Cost-Saving by Design

Let’s look at the economics:

A facility using 20 sets of single-use restraints per month will use 240 per year. By switching to reusables with ERBs, hospitals are purchasing just 40–60 sets of restraints and matching ERBs. This accommodates laundry turnaround without overstocking—and the long-term cost savings are substantial.

Additionally, visual inspections at the two-year mark often reveal that both restraints and ERBs remain in excellent condition, allowing hospitals to extend usage well beyond two years in many cases.
