BRAIDLOCK^® : Securing Lifelines^®

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
• is protected by worldwide patents

The device is similar to a “Chinese Finger Trap.” It increases in diameter when compressed longitudinally, 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.
