Using physical restraints is a common method to prevent injury in agitated hospitalized patients, but it also can lead to undesired outcomes. This study showed that the SOMA Safe EnclosureTM appears to be a safe, effective type of restraint that is more acceptable to family members and physicians than the types of restraints currently in use.
