When it comes to patient care, the smallest details can make the biggest difference especially when it comes to secure and comfortable fixation of catheters, drainage tubes, and other medical devices.

That’s where the Wira-Flexi comes in. Designed with flexibility, comfort, and security in mind, the Wira-Flexi provides an ideal solution for healthcare professionals and patients alike.

The Importance of Secure Fixation in Medical Care

Catheters, drainage tubes, and other indwelling medical devices are essential for delivering medication, managing fluids, and ensuring recovery. However, ensuring that these devices remain securely in place while allowing the patient to move comfortably can be a challenge.

Accidental dislodgement or frequent dressing changes not only disrupt treatment but can also cause patient discomfort and increase the risk of infection.

That’s where the Wira-Flexi excels, offering a strong, secure hold while promoting patient comfort.

Key Features of the Wira-Flexi

The Wira-Flexi stands out due to its unique design and features, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of medical applications. Here’s what makes it a trusted solution for healthcare providers:

  • Hypoallergenic & Latex-Free:
    Many patients suffer from latex allergies or have sensitive skin, making it essential to use hypoallergenic materials. Wira-Flexi is latex-free, minimising the risk of irritation and allergic reactions.
  • Precut & Ready to Use:
    Time is critical in healthcare settings, and Wira-Flexi’s precut design ensures quick and easy application. Healthcare professionals can secure it in place with minimal effort, even with one hand, making it an ideal choice in busy medical environments.
  • Strong, Resealable Velcro:
    With its durable, resealable velcro, Wira-Flexi offers a secure hold that can be adjusted as needed without compromising fixation. This ensures that tubes and catheters remain in place, reducing the risk of dislodgement.
  • Flexible & Breathable Material:
    Wira-Flexi conforms to the patient’s body, providing both comfort and flexibility. The breathable material allows the skin to stay dry and irritation-free, even during extended wear.
  • Long Wear Time:
    Wira-Flexi can be worn for up to 5 days, reducing the need for frequent dressing changes and saving time for both patients and healthcare staff. This long wear time also helps improve patient outcomes by maintaining secure catheter fixation for longer periods.

Versatile Applications of Wira-Flexi

Wira-Flexi’s versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of medical uses, offering reliable fixation for various medical devices:

  1. Epidural Catheter Fixation
    During labour or post-surgical recovery, keeping the epidural catheter in place is crucial for patient safety and comfort. Wira-Flexi’s strong velcro ensures the catheter remains securely fixed, minimising the risk of dislodgement while allowing for natural movement.
  2. Indwelling Needle Fixation
    Wira-Flexi is the perfect solution for securing indwelling needles used for medication delivery and fluid management. Its easy-to-use design allows for fast application, even with one hand, while its secure hold ensures uninterrupted treatment.
  3. Central Venous Catheter Fixation
    Long-term medication administration through central venous catheters requires reliable fixation. Wira-Flexi conforms to the chest wall, offering a secure hold without restricting patient movement, making it a top choice for long-term use.
  4. Drainage Tube Fixation
    For patients recovering from surgery or managing wounds, maintaining proper drainage is key. Wira-Flexi keeps drainage tubes securely in place, reducing the risk of dislodgement and ensuring effective fluid management.

Additionally, Wira-Flexi can be used for other applications, including urinary catheter fixation, peripheral arterial catheters (PAC), and securing oxygen tubing for neonatal and paediatric patients.
