CERBERUS Series · Arm / Leg restraint
SF7
Reach the limb without closing the gap.
The SF7 is built around a single premise: distance is protection. A band held on a long shaft is pressed against an arm or a leg, wraps the limb on contact, and stays there. A high-strength rope keeps the band tethered to the operator's side, so freedom of movement is reduced while the officer remains at the full length of the shaft. It is intended for encounters where closing the gap is the risk - an armed or highly agitated subject, a confined corridor, a doorway.
Operating principle
How it is deployed
Hold at standing distance
The standard long shaft sets the working distance. The operator stays outside the subject's effective reach.
Apply to an arm or leg
Pressing the head against the limb brings the band around it. The wrap is immediate and requires no second action.
Maintain the tether
The band remains connected by high-strength rope. Freedom of movement is restricted while distance is preserved.
Move to hand-over
With the limb secured, a second officer can complete restraint, or the subject can be moved under control to a safer position.
Why this design
Three defining characteristics
Works at the full length of the shaft
The operator does not have to enter contact range for the tool to function. This is the core distinction from handheld restraint equipment.
Difficult for the subject to remove
The internal band structure and high-engagement hook-and-loop closure make removal impractical from the inside; the operator can release it easily from the outside for training.
Reusable across training and live deployment
Constructed for repeated application, so training volume does not consume stock.
Key features
What the SF7 does
- Restraint achieved by pressing the head against a leg or arm - no projectile, no cartridge, no charge.
- Approximately 1.6 kg, manageable for extended holding.
- Compact enough to operate in confined spaces such as corridors and doorways.
- The standard long shaft allows the operator to work while maintaining distance.
- The band attaches to its holder for rapid set-up; recommended to be stored with the band pre-attached.

Options and accessories
Configuring the SF7
Wall-mounted holder
Fixed-post storage with the band pre-attached, so the unit is ready to lift and deploy.
Replacement band unit
The band is the consumable element of the system. Replacement units are available separately - available on request.
Combined deployment
Used alongside other CERBERUS tools
With SC17
SF7 secures a limb from distance while SC17 takes the torso. Two officers, two ranges, one sequence.
With SB224
SB224 holds working distance and controls the approach; SF7 completes the limb restraint.
Operational contexts
Where the SF7 is deployed
Controlled supply
How the SF7 is sold and managed
Institutional buyers only
The SF7 is supplied exclusively to verified law enforcement, correctional, military, medical and institutional buyers. The manufacturer does not sell to private individuals, and SANOKIKO EUROPE applies the same policy across Europe. Purchaser status, premises and intended use are confirmed before any order is accepted.
Contract-based sale
Every sale is concluded under written terms of supply, following the manufacturer's own practice in Japan. Where the buyer's confirmed status or intended use does not meet the conditions of sale, the order is declined.
Serial-number traceability
Each unit carries an individual serial number recorded by the manufacturer, linking every tool to its original delivery. This supports asset registers and audit requirements in procurement, and is part of the manufacturer's measures against misuse, theft and resale.
