| 摘要 |
The invention apparatus (10), and method of use thereof remedies the problems and dangers associated with applying restraint holds to violent and/or struggling persons and provides protection to such persons from self-inflicted injuries during and after application of restraint holds by law enforcement or medical staff members as well as protects the staff members from harm that may be inflicted on them by the target person during and after application of restraint holds. The inventive modular protective apparatus (10), advantageously includes three releasably interconnected components that include a base resilient pad (12), for providing moderate cushioning support and protection from abrasion for a person's head during application of a restraint hold, an easily deployable cervical collar (14), which protects and stabilizes the person's neck and prevents neck injuries and head-butting, and a readily deployable face shield (16) that releasably attaches to the cervical collar (14) and that prevents the person from spitting on and/or biting the staff members.
