A disposable, loop-type restraint includes a central portion having a pair of sockets with through openings, separated by a bridging portion, and flexible straps extending in opposite directions from the central portion. Each strap may be formed in a loop with end portions inserted through a respective socket opening. A series of ratchet teeth is formed along one surface of each strap and pawl within each socket opening has a pair of adjacent teeth for engaging ratchet teeth on the straps to permit movement of the straps through the socket openings in an insertion direction and prevent movement in a withdrawal direction. Other features include tag portions between the central portion and each strap having a patina finish for receiving inked identifying indicia, tip portions on the straps having saw teeth along each of their opposite surfaces and a pair of apertures through the bridging portion to receive the tip portions of the straps and provide a compact storage position for the device.
