Frictional band

A method, comprising:

• receiving a length of material for a restraining band;
• applying a first frictional layer at discrete intervals to a first side of the restraining band;
• applying a second frictional layer at discrete intervals to a second side of the restraining band;
• and
• adding a fastener to the restraining band.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a base material in the form of an elongated band having a first side and a second side and a thickness of base material between the first side of the base material and the second side of the base material, the first side opposite the second side, the base material further having a first end and a second end, the first end opposite the second end, the base material further having a first edge and a second edge, the first edge opposite the second edge, the base material having a width measured between the top edge and the bottom edge;
• a first frictional layer formed on the first side of the base material and fixedly attached thereto;
• a second frictional layer formed on the second side of the base material fixedly attached thereto;
• and
• a first fastener fixedly attached to the first end of the base material.
