Cable Management as a Priority in Medicine
Healthcare providers are finding innovative ways to use VELCRO® Brand ONE-WRAP® for cable management. They’re being used to secure items in ambulances and keep patient rooms organized, offering a simple solution for fastening cords. Nurses and caregivers also prefer VELCRO® Brand QWIK-Tie Straps for their lightweight and compact design. The ties are perfect when cut to size or used as perforated straps. Loose wires and tubing in patient rooms can lead to trip hazards, making this a priority for many providers.
Telemetry poles benefit from cable management solutions, too. With organized cords and tubes kept off the floor, patients can experienced enhanced mobility.
Fastening Solutions for Operating and Recovery Areas
VELCRO® Brand PRESS-LOK® solutions provide an effective way to manage cords and tubes in operating suites. VELCRO® Brand PRESS-LOK® is BRC certified and produced in ISO-certified plants. The fasteners are also well-suited for medical equipment packaging, offering a recyclable alternative to adhesive-based solutions. VELCRO® Brand PRESS-LOK® also provides an easy-to-use closure, which is perfect for providers wearing gloves in a sterile setting.
Connecting Hook-and-Loop Surfaces
Back-to-back products are available in both woven and molded options. Many applications exist for these specialty combination products, including sling strap connections, positioning of patient cushions, securing of patient privacy curtains, and attachments for wheelchair seat cushions and accessories. Back-to-back hook also works well with DFL tape to create custom straps or cushioning pads for helmets and head restraints. A translucent and flexible version of the low-profile molded hook is in development.
Adhesive Alternatives in Development
Debris free, clean, and recyclable products, along with removable adhesive, are indispensable in any office or home. Now, they are being used in medical environments where hospital maintenance workers and nurses have become frustrated with the gooey mess left behind by standard adhesives. Skin safe adhesives are currently helpful in orthopedic and prosthetic customization and fit.
For new wearable devices and medical tube management, this new suite of solutions will be useful in attaching sensors, managing batteries and transmitters securely and comfortably. They are suitable from patient rooms and telemetry carts to the operating room and enable patient movement with ease throughout their care and monitoring needs.
