A<unk>  is a type of medical restraint used to restrain a patient to a bed or chair. Its name comes from the J.T.<unk>  Company, its inventor, though the term<unk> " is used generically to describe all such devices. The<unk>  is placed on the patient, and meshy straps extending from each corner are tied either individually to each side of the bed or together to the back of a chair.<unk> s are most often used to prevent patients from injuring themselves by falling or climbing out of the bed or chair. They allow patients the freedom to move around their arms and legs if no limb restraints have been applied. Laws in many places require<unk> s be applied with the opening at the patient's front. Misuse in which a<unk>  is applied backwards has resulted in patients being choked to death. Many lawsuits have been litigated in which a patient has died while restrained by a<unk> .
