The usual reference to restraint mitts refers to hand coverings used with or in place of straps to secure a patient's arms during medical treatment, as in seizures or mental illness, or to restrict the patient's ability to grab, pick, or scratch.

Another type of restraint mitt is used to immobilize a hand where a splint in used to repair a damaged bone, tendon, or muscle.
