Rotoclix

General Description

Rotoclix is a system of components designed to secure tubes and cables having a diameter of 4 mm upward (mechanisms to secure tubes of lower diameter are in the planning stage). In practice tubes are usually secured using sticking plaster or scissor clamps. This way of securing offers limited protection against the intentional or unintentional pulling out IV cannula, fistula needles or similar objects. In practical terms patients are frequently condemned to accept nearly complete immobilisation to try and prevent disconnections.

Now the use of the Rotoclix system provides for an effective and secure protection solution against tubes being disconnected.

The Rotoclix system allows tubing and cables to be suspended on gimbals being flexible in all directions. It is impossible for them to buckle. Tube holding clips, which have been
colour coded for the individual tube diameters have been provided to hold and lock the tube. These individual tube holding devices are attached using a variety of clips, Velcro fastenings, tube suspension arrangements or magnets. Clips for example may be attached to the patient’s clothing or the bedding; Velcro fastening may be applied directly to the patient, the magnet to the bedstead, etc.

An almost unlimited number of attachment options exist. The patient will be given a new freedom of movement with doctors and nurses having the certainty that their patients are optimally and safely taken care of. The fatal safety gap between high-tech equipment and patient is closed by Rotoclix which is indispensable in particular for DIN ISO 9002 certified undertakings. The type of clip used is unique worldwide, it has been made from ion implanted stainless steel allowing for utilisation in all medical fields including those requiring sterility without any loss of mechanical characteristics during the sterilisation process.

Rotoclix can be disinfected and sterilised, i.e. may be reused under all circumstances. As a result of all these features lower expenditure results in terms of time and materials than previously used and provides for a security that was virtually impossible to obtain in the past. It makes a lot more sense to devote such saved time to the actual nursing care.

Rotoclix System Application Advantages:
  • Haemodialysis
  • Secure attachment of blood bearing tubes thus securing the fistula needles and catheters plus avoidance of obstacles in the way of attendants.
  • The patient can move under secure conditions.
  • Loss of blood and air embolisms have been minimised.
  • Allergic reactions to sticking plaster have been minimised.
  • Patient discomfort is reduced.
  • Setup time is reduced.
  • The risk of blood tubing sets getting kinked and resulting haemolysis is dramatically reduced.
