Barrier gestures against COVID-19>

Handcuffing is part of the regular professional activities of gendarmes, police officers or security agents who must daily face the epidemic risk.

Disposable handcuffs are now an essential tool so that peace officers do not have to use the same ones for each arrested person, with the aim of reducing the risk of spread between detainees, but also between detainees and law enforcement agents. 

This equipment is all the more used for large gatherings, during multiple arrests in demonstrations for example. 

These single-use handcuffs can take the form of Disposable textile Handcuff handcuffs, Plastic handcuffs offered by the TOE brand and available on our online store vetsecurite.com, or ASP Tri-Fold Handcuffs offered by the ASP brand.

Instructions for use: these handcuffs are very easy to use, as explained in the videos below made by the ASP brand. Simply unhook them, pass them around the hands of the arrested person, pull and press. After a second compression to lock them, the handcuffs are correctly installed and just as effective as conventional handcuffs.

How to remove them? They are easily detachable thanks to the Scarab Cutter. In addition, you can store them in pairs in the Holster for TRI-FOLD disposable handcuffs - ASP.

Instructions for use: pass the first loop around your own wrist, grasp the person's fingers with the same hand and slide the loop over the person's wrist with your other hand. Repeat the same operation for the second hand.
