Imagine an ideal world, where aggressive and self-destructive clients could be managed with skillful verbal intervention only.  If only it were true.  Unfortunately, therapeutic restraint is sometimes an absolute necessity.  When a standing restraint becomes dangerously unstable, you must get to the floor as quickly and safely as possible.   If you have ever experienced an uncontrolled crash to the floor using the "standing only" methods of other crisis intervention programs - we know you'll agree.

The Primary Restraint Technique (PRT)® with Tripod Stand™

Our legendary PRT is a powerful standing method that reassures the client with benign therapeutic control.  Biomechanically efficient, it works without inflicting pain or stress - preserving dignity, self-esteem and your relationship.  We engineered our patented takedown method to eliminate potential impact forces.  There is no safer way to get to the floor.

Once you are on the floor The PRT has always had a simple proven safeguard, the Tripod Modification, to create a weight-bearing bridge that eliminates chest compression.  The PRT Tripod Stand is a device that (literally) supports that effort.

The Tripod Stand helps direct care staff maintain a safe and therapeutic PRT floor restraining hold by giving them a safe and comfortable place on which to rest 100% of their upper body weight.  It is brought to a restraint by support staff.

The Tripod Stand is made in the USA for Handle With Care by a leading manufacturer of foam safety products.  Made of durable and easy-to-clean "vinyl dipped foam", the Tripod Stand adjusts to children and adults of all sizes.  It is the most important innovation in our patented line of Soft Circle client-protection products that will make life safer for everyone.
