Braidlock

The BRAIDLOCK® is an adjustable line-fixation device. It is effective, efficient and easy to use. Most importantly, it reduces the cost of medical care.

The BRAIDLOCK®:

  • • enables lines to be attached, adjusted and detached more quickly and
  •    efficiently than is otherwise possible
  • • reduces the use of sutures, thereby reducing the risk of needlestick injury
  • • is easily adjustable by nursing staff
  • • reduces post operative care costs
  • • reduces the risk of lines slipping
  • • reduces infection risk
  • • improves patient outcomes
  • • is manufactured in the United Kingdom, with a "CE" mark

    The device is similar to a “Chinese Finger Trap.” It increases in diameter when compressed, allowing the insertion of a line, drain or catheter. When it is released, the diameter contracts forming a tight grip on the inserted line.

    The BRAIDLOCK® can be attached to the patient in one of three ways: by Suture, by integrated Adhesive Pad, or by hook & loop strap.

    The BRAIDLOCK® is suitable for use in a variety of clinical settings including cardiothoracic surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, plastic surgery, ENT, and neo-natal intensive care.
