In doing so we are becoming a supplier of choice to healthcare organisations globally.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
To revolutionise the process of medical line fixation and adjustment. In an environment where over half of the 500 million lines utilised annually become inadvertently moved or dislodged, we are focused on enabling the Braidlock® device(s) to rapidly become the global standard for line securement and thereby contribute materially both to improved patient comfort and safety, as well as to more cost-effective healthcare provision in this area.
“Our Mission is to provide the global standard in line, drain and catheter securement.”
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Braidlock® is committed to bringing a safer, faster and cheaper solution to clinicians and patients for line securement.
Our intentions are to:
Ensure safety. Our research team is constantly reviewing best practice in medical device safety and ethics to ensure the Braidlock® remains safe and fit for purpose while offers other benefits such as reducing infection risk and increasing patient comfort. Braidlock® has minimal skin contact and thus the area around a wound site can be cleaned much more easily.
Work with clinicians and all healthcare providers. Through a message of consensus, team building, global research and best practice, we are introducing this revolutionary device, facilitating the work of over-burdened medical professionals and enabling them to concentrate more time on their patients.
Support research and innovation. Braidlock® welcomes inquiries from teaching hospitals and other research bodies which seek to advance research in surgery, anaesthesiology, transplants, infection control and more. By telling us how we can improve our products we can make sure what we create works perfectly for you and your team. Please Contact us if you have any feedback or suggestions.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Since 2004, we have been developing and trialling novel products for chest drains, paediatric umbilical catheters, peripheral lines and more. As a result, the initial medical device has been improved over the years as part of an iterative process.
