The BRAIDLOCK® is a specially-braided tube which allows for the quick and easy securement or adjustment of a medical line or drain to a patient by trained clinicians. It is designed to replace the incumbent options (usually plaster and gauze) which do not secure lines as securely as often required.
Our device increases in diameter when compressed, allowing the insertion of a line or catheter. When the braided tube is released it contracts, thereby tightly gripping the device along its entire length.
We have an excellent, short (3 minute) video demonstration. You can watch the same video on YouTube and also subscribe to our Channel, where you can leave your comments.

- BRAIDLOCK® Brochure
NEW! Download our brochure This brochure can be printed back-to-back and folded as a tri-fold.
The BRAIDLOCK® is available to buy in three versions:
 - Suture fixation
|
Suture
This is our original product which offers a refined simplicity. The BRAIDLOCK® attaches by means of two suture loops. There are a total of four pin-pricks to the skin which ensure the device’s stability. Patient infection risk is reduced substantially (as the skin around the BRAIDLOCK® can be cleaned so easily) and needlestick injuries are minimised.

|
|
 - VELCRO® fixation
|
VELCRO®
The VELCRO® attachment provides an extra level of patient comfort without compromising safety. The VELCRO® can be easily removed and re-applied, thus facilitating cleaning in and around the wound, and readjustment as required. There is no risk of needlestick injury. (VELCRO® is a registered trademark of Velcro Industries B. V.)

|
 - Plaster fixation
|
Adhesive
Simply remove adhesive seal and attach the BRAIDLOCK® to skin for a secure and needle-free fixation, thus completely avoiding needlestick injury. The unique chevron shape allows for maximum grip, over a minimum area. Lines can be fully adjusted while the adhesive remains securely in place. (Line not included). |
