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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Preventing Medical Line Entanglement and Tubing Misconnections: Best Practices and Strategies

In this webinar, we discuss the importance of preventing medical line entanglement and tubing misconnections and the risks it poses to patient safety.

Medical line entanglement is a serious safety concern in healthcare settings, and it can lead to significant harm to patients. During this webinar, we provide an overview of what medical line entanglement is and how it can occur. We discuss the dangers and risks of medical line entanglement and how to prevent it.

We explain how the Beata Clasp, a medical line organizer, can help prevent medical line entanglement along with tubing misconnections. We highlight our product due to its mobility when transferring a patient, latex-free, and being free of adhesive. This hospital cord organizer triggers the prompt to do line tracing from patient to the source, preventing misconnections and medication errors. Other benefits of using an organizer include keeping lines off the floor and preventing falls.

We discuss the importance of patient involvement in their care, and how using a medical line organizer can encourage patients to be more aware of their lines and notify staff if they perceive any changes. We also touch on the importance of having policies and procedures in place to manage medical line entanglement in your healthcare facility.

If the Joint Commission rounded today and asked what steps your hospital is taking to manage medical line entanglement, we recommend answering by explaining how your goal is to prevent medical line entanglement in the first place. We suggest explaining how you manage tubing, lines, and drains at the bedside with a medical line organizer such as the Beata Clasp. Additionally, we recommend sharing how you have guidelines, policies, or procedures in place for medical line entanglement to ensure consistent messaging for all units of the hospital.

We hope you find the ideas in this video helpful. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Thank you.

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.

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.
