zip cuffs

Disposable wrist bindings

Zip cuffs are disposable restraints made of flexible plastic strips that tighten when pulled, used by police and military to bind a person's wrists.

They work like heavy-duty zip ties—once cinched, they can't be loosened without being cut off.

Also called zip ties or flex cuffs: Officers secured the protesters with zip cuffs.
