Kel-Met Handcuffs on arms and legs

Kel-Met hand and leg cuffs are designed for use by uniformed services like the police and border guard, and are utilized during interventions that require effective movement restriction. They are employed to immobilize individuals, ensuring the safety of both the officers and detainees. These cuffs are commonly used during transport or in detention scenarios.

The structure is crafted entirely from stainless steel that conforms to the PN-EN 10088-1 standard. This material is non-toxic to humans, offers high resistance to mechanical damage, and does not provoke allergic reactions. Lacking galvanic coatings like nickel or zinc ensures compliance with the EU Directive 76/769/EEC-94/27/EEC for products designed for skin contact, alongside planned national regulations.

The set includes hand cuffs connected by a 4 cm chain, leg cuffs joined by a 42 cm chain, and a 90 cm chain that links both parts. All armor-type chains are mounted using rotating connectors. The shape of the cuffs is designed to minimize the risk of abrasions and injuries when used as intended.

The cuffs are made of steel components with a double-pawl mechanism and a movable ratchet arm. Each cuff includes a ratchet lock that can be engaged at any position to prevent excessive tightening. Protection against accidental opening is activated by a pin located in the key. Pressing the pin activates the lock, and turning the key releases it.

The cuffs comply with the following strength standards:

• breaking force of 2300 N – the force is applied in the plane of one clamp while the other remains fixed. Once the force is lifted, the device maintains full functionality.
• bending force of 500 N – the clamp is attached on the chain side; the force is exerted perpendicularly to the clamp’s plane at the end opposite to where it's attached. The clamp doesn't experience permanent deformation.

• hand cuffs with a 4 cm chain
• leg cuffs with a 42 cm chain
• 90 cm chain connecting the cuffs
• two keys

Kel-Met handcuffs adhere to the following standards:

• PN-EN 10088-1 - this standard pertains to the characteristics of stainless steels, specifying their chemical makeup and mechanical properties.
• 76/769/EEC-94/27/EEC - an EU directive that restricts the use of heavy metals, like nickel, in products that come into contact with the skin. These handcuffs are free of electroplated coatings such as nickel or zinc.
• KGP standard - ensures conformity with the Police Headquarters' criteria for handcuff design, safety, and functionality.
