Type of restraints

The hospital system that our psychiatric unit belongs to recently switched from using leather restraints to these purple plastic restraints. Their reasoning was for cleaning purposes. The problem is using these plastic restraints they get sweaty and the patients have been slipping out of them. They also do not bend at all. When a patient is difficult to control (requiring 4 point) the staff has been using the leather ones which they have hidden.

Does anyone have the same experience using these hard plastic ones?

    You might have to be a bit more specific, there is more than 1 manufacturer of restraints and more than 1 catalog of types of plastic restraints.
