FAQ

Do patients like the Beata Clasp?
Yes! Patients appreciate being involved in their care, which improves both compliance and safety. The Beata Clasp helps keep their environment organized and reduces the risk of line entanglement. Check out our Testimonials to see what patients and healthcare professionals are saying!
How can I be sure the Beata Clasp will fit my equipment, such as a bedrail?
The Beata Clasp is designed with flexibility to fit a wide range of bedrails and other equipment. We encourage facilities to request a sample to evaluate fit and functionality in their specific setting. For added securement, we offer an optional reusable yellow fastener tie for purchase.
Is the Beata Clasp intended for single or multiple patient use?
The Beata Clasp is designed to be adaptable based on facility preference. It can be used as a single-patient item for convenience, allowing the patient to take it with them when transferring units, during transport, or upon discharge home. However, it can also be cleaned and reused between patients if desired. Additionally, we offer a recycling program for facilities looking to dispose of used clasps in an environmentally friendly way.

How do you clean the Beata Clasp?
The Beata Clasp can be cleaned an unlimited number of times using soap and water, bleach, or any standard sanitizing disinfectant wipes available at your facility. Its durable, non-porous material ensures easy cleaning without compromising its integrity. However, it cannot be autoclaved.
The CDC Isolation Guideline recommends that “noncritical equipment contaminated with blood, body fluids, secretions, or excretions be cleaned and disinfected after use.” Additionally, for certain pathogens that can survive on surfaces for prolonged periods, the guideline advises disinfection with an EPA-registered low or intermediate-level disinfectant. Consistent cleaning and disinfecting of bedside equipment help reduce infection risks, protect patient safety, and lower healthcare costs.
For more details on best practices, refer to the CDC Isolation Guideline.
How can I get my facility to use the Beata Clasp?
Many RNs and CNAs introduce the Beata Clasp to their manager or present it to a unit-based council or committee for review. Once approved, your facility’s purchasing department can contact us to place an order and stock your unit. To help with the process, download our product brochure and share it with your manager.
What education is there to support the use of a medical line organizer?
We provide multiple educational resources to support the use of the Beata Clasp medical line organizer in healthcare settings:
- Explainer & Training Video: Our newly created one-minute video serves as a quick in-service or training tool for clinical staff. It demonstrates how to attach the Beata Clasp to a bed rail and provides a clear overview of its benefits in preventing tubing mismanagement.
- Industry Insights on Patient Safety: We reference key findings from ECRI’s Top 10 Health Tech Hazards for 2025 report. The report highlights infection risks and tripping hazards from poorly managed infusion lines (#8 on the list)—a critical issue the Beata Clasp helps address.
- Webinar on Preventing Medical Line Entanglement: This in-depth session discusses the risks of tubing misconnections, medication errors, and patient falls due to mismanaged lines. The webinar highlights how the Beata Clasp promotes line tracing from the patient to the source, reducing the risk of errors.
- Compliance & Best Practices: We offer guidance on how hospitals can proactively answer The Joint Commission’s inquiries regarding medical line entanglement. The Beata Clasp helps facilities implement best practices for tubing management, keeping lines off the floor, preventing falls, and ensuring standardized patient safety protocols.
For more information, access our video resources, attend our educational webinars, or reach out to us directly. We’re happy to support your facility in improving patient safety and workflow efficiency.

What is a workaround?
Workarounds circumvent or temporarily ‘fix’ perceived workflow hindrances to meet a goal or to achieve it more readily. Behaviours fitting the definition of workarounds often include violations, deviations, problem solving, improvisations, procedural failures and shortcuts.
Clinicians implement workarounds in response to the complexity of delivering patient care. One imperative to understand workarounds lies in their influence on patient safety.
What is The Beata Clasp Made Of?
The Beata Clasp is made from a soft, flexible, rubber-like plastic known as a styrenic thermoplastic elastomer (TES), which provides durability while remaining lightweight. It is latex-free, making it safe for individuals with latex allergies. The material contains an antimicrobial additive, which helps prevent the growth of bacteria and mold, ensuring a cleaner and safer product for medical environments. While it can be stored at a range of temperatures, it cannot be autoclaved (not suitable for high-heat sterilization).
On a technical level, the Beata Clasp is composed of a styrenic-polyolefin thermoplastic rubber blend with a foaming agent.

Do you sell to government facilities?
Yes, we are registered with the U.S. federal government's System for Award Management (SAM) under LENORE HENNING ENTERPRISES, INC. (NCEVU3VAVUL6 / 7HML5) and are authorized to sell to government facilities.
Is the Beata Clasp classified as a medical device, and does it require FDA registration?
The Beata Clasp is not classified as a medical device and does not require FDA registration. It falls under the category of noncritical reusable medical equipment, similar to bedpans, blood pressure cuffs, crutches, and computers. According to the CDC, noncritical items pose virtually no risk of transmitting infectious agents when used appropriately, as they do not come into contact with non-intact skin or mucous membranes.
