Fixation Clip For endotracheal tube or suction catheter

The fixation clip is a great addition to any intubation or suctioning kit. This simple device will keep your tube or catheter in place, making the procedure much easier and safer for both you and your patient.

Introducing the Fixation Clip

The Fixation Clip is a new device that can be used to attach an endotracheal tube or suction catheter to the patient's trachea. This device is easy to use and can be installed in seconds. The Fixation Clip is made of a soft, pliable material that is comfortable for the patient and will not cause any irritation. This device isLatex-free and compatible with all standard endotracheal tubes and suction catheters.

How to Use the Fixation Clip

The fixation clip is a handy little device that can be used to secure an endotracheal tube or suction catheter in place. Here's a quick guide on how to use it:

1. First, remove the cap from the fixation clip.

2. Next, take the endotracheal tube or suction catheter and thread it through the fixation clip.

3. Once the tube or catheter is in place, replace the cap on the fixation clip.

4. Finally, use the screws on the side of the fixation clip to secure it in place.

The Benefits of Using a Fixation Clip

If you are in the medical field, then you know how important it is to have the right tools and supplies for the job. This is especially true when it comes to endotracheal tubes and suction catheters. A fixation clip can be a great addition to your supplies, as it can help to keep the tube or catheter in place. Here are some of the benefits of using a fixation clip:

1. Keeps the tube or catheter from moving around: This is perhaps the most obvious benefit of using a fixation clip. If you have an endotracheal tube or suction catheter that is constantly moving around, it can be difficult to keep it in place and properly positioned. A fixation clip can help to keep the tube or catheter securely in place, so that you can focus on other aspects of patient care.

2. Reduces the risk of accidental displacement: Another benefit of using a fixation clip is that it reduces the risk of accidental displacement. If a tube or catheter is not properly secured, there is a risk that it could become dislodged during patient care. This could lead to serious complications, such as infection or bleeding. By using a fixation clip, you

How to Clean the Fixation Clip

Assuming you're talking about the plastic piece that goes over the ET tube or suction catheter:

1. remove the fixation clip from the tube or catheter
2. using a mild soap and water, clean the fixation clip
3. dry the fixation clip with a clean cloth or air dry
4. reattach the fixation clip to the tube or catheter

Conclusion

The fixation clip is a great way to keep your endotracheal tube or suction catheter in place. It is easy to use and can be placed on the tube or catheter in seconds. The fixation clip is also comfortable to wear and will not cause any irritation.

Fixation Clip

Fixation Clip: A broken bone must be carefully stabilized and supported until it is strong enough to handle the body's weight and movement. Until the last century, physicians relied on casts and splints to support and stabilize the bone from outside the body. The advent of sterile surgical procedures reduced the risk of infection, allowing doctors to internally set and stabilize fractured bones. During a surgical procedure to set a fracture, the bone fragments are first repositioned (reduced) into their normal alignment. They are held together with special implants, such as plates, screws, nails and wires. Internal fixation allows shorter hospital stays, enables patients to return to function earlier, and reduces the incidence of nonunion (improper healing) and malunion (healing in improper position) of broken bones. The implants used for Fixation Clip, fixation are made from stainless steel and titanium, which are durable and strong. If a joint is to be replaced, rather than fixed, these implants can also be made of cobalt and chrome. Implants are compatible with the body and rarely cause an allergic reaction.

Plates

Plates are like internal splints that hold the broken pieces of bone together. They are attached to the bone with screws. Plates may be left in place after healing is complete, or they may be removed (in select cases).
In this x-ray, broken bones in a forearm are held in position with plates and screws while they heal.

Screws

Screws are used for internal fixation more often than any other type of implant. Although the screw is a simple device, there are different designs based on the type of fracture and how the screw will be used. Screws come in different sizes for use with bones of different sizes. Screws can be used alone to hold a fracture, as well as with plates, rods, or nails. After the bone heals, screws may be either left in place or removed.
A broken bone in this patient’s ankle is held in position with plates and screws.

Nails or Rods

In some fractures of the long bones the best way to hold the bone pieces together is by inserting a rod or nail through the hollow center of the bone that normally contains some marrow. Screws at each end of the rod are used to keep the fracture from shortening or rotating, and also hold the rod in place until the fracture has healed. Rods and screws may be left in the bone after healing is complete. This is the method used to treat the majority of fractures in the femur (thighbone) and tibia (shinbone).

Wires/Pins

Wires are often used to pin the bones back together. They are often used to hold together pieces of bone that are too small to be fixed with screws. In many cases, they are used in conjunction with other forms of internal fixation, but they can be used alone to treat fractures of small bones, such as those found in the hand or foot. Wires are usually removed after a certain amount of time, but may be left in permanently for some fractures.

External Fixators

An external fixator acts as a stabilizing frame to hold the broken bones in proper position. In an external fixator, metal pins or screws are placed into the bone through small incisions into the skin and muscle. The pins and screws are attached to a bar outside the skin. Because pins are inserted into bone, external fixators differ from casts and splints which rely solely on external support.
External fixation is often used to hold the bones together temporarily when the skin and muscles have been injured.
In many cases, external fixation is used as a temporary treatment for fractures. Because they are easily applied, external fixators are often put on when a patient has multiple injuries and is not yet ready for a longer surgery to fix the fracture. An external fixator provides good, temporary stability until the patient is healthy enough for the final surgery. Other times, an external fixator can be used as the device to stabilize the bone until healing is complete.
This patient’s fractured thighbone has been stabilized with external fixation. The fixator will be removed when surgery to repair the fracture can be performed safely.
There may be some inflammation or, less commonly, infection associated with the use of external fixators. This is typically managed with wound care and/or oral antibiotics.

Other Considerations

Sterile conditions and advances in surgical techniques reduce, but do not remove, the risk of infection when internal fixation is used. The severity of the fracture, its location, and the medical status of the patient must all be considered. In addition, no technique is foolproof. The fracture may not heal properly or the plate or rod may break or deform. Although some media attention has focused on the possibility that cancer could develop near a long-term implant, there is little evidence documenting an actual cancer risk and much evidence against that possibility. Orthopaedic surgeons are continuing their research to develop improved methods for treating fractures.
