The Problem: Unsafe, Improvised Solutions for a Cr The Problem: Unsafe, Improvised Solutions for a Critical Task

In operating theatres and emergency settings, the patient airway is a vital lifeline. Yet too often, it’s secured with tape or ties, methods never designed for airway safety.

🔴Tape risks:

- Tape isn’t made for airway securement. It breaks easily, varies in quality, and offers no guarantee of reliability

- It carries infection risk, often transported in pockets or left on unclean surfaces before being used on patients

- It damages skin, especially in vulnerable patients

🔴Tie risks:

- Risk of venous occlusion: Ties wrapped around the head can restrict drainage — especially problematic in the steep Trendelenburg position

- Pressure injuries: Prolonged use can cause facial damage, especially at the mouth corners

- Poor hygiene: Cotton absorbs moisture, compromising strength and cleanliness

- Time-consuming prep: Cutting ties to size adds unnecessary steps

- Inconsistent tension: Knots vary, impacting stability

These improvised methods put patients at risk every day. It’s time to move away from unsafe practices and towards a solution designed for airway security.

LEAFix was developed to solve these problems worldwide and provide a secure, reliable solution for airway management.

⏳ Myth vs. Fact 🚨 MYTH: Tape alone is enoug ⏳ Myth vs. Fact 

🚨 MYTH: Tape alone is enough to secure an airway device.

✅ FACT: Whilst tape does secure an airway device, it is an infection risk to the patient. In the eyes of the National Infection Prevention Control Manual multi-patient rolls of tape are by definition, classified as non-invasive re-usable equipment, meaning they should be decontaminated to adhere to National Infection Control Standards. This is NOT happening. Tapes are in fact not fit for purpose and if risk assessed would not meet the demanding regulation required to get a medical device to the market. Healthcare governance must establish a consistent policy regarding the use of products that are not designed for their intended purpose. The repeated claim that the NHS embraces innovation is clearly unfounded when it comes to airway securement.

🗣️ Securement is not just about placement—i 🗣️ Securement is not just about placement—it’s about prevention. Simple changes can save lives.

97% of our survey respondents were aware that the airway may migrate during the intervention and could cause serious harm to the patient but continued to use the same methods of securement. The resistance to change is fundamentally causing harm to patients. 

💬 Because you have always done something a certain way doesn’t make it right and there is no difference when securing airway devices

🔑Leafix Key training points

✔ When applying Leafix, make sure the skin is dry. The product will cope with sweat and fluids as long as it is put on dry skin.

✔ Place the Y shape anchor point first and close to the side of the mouth, so you do not have to stretch the material.

✔ Make sure the Leafix does not have creases or gaps particularly if the patient is Prone, this will prevent fluid or saliva getting under and affecting the adhesive.

By following these steps, you will ensure that the Leafix is used correctly and to it's full potential!

📚 This week's #trainingtuesday looks at the sel 📚 This week's #trainingtuesday looks at the selective surgeries proving popular with Leafix.

Our goal with Leafix is eradicate the use of tape and ties in theatres completely. However, in these early stages we have seen a higher uptake in selective surgery types where problems with off-label conventional materials such as tape and ties are more prevalent.

🧠Neuro - When the patient is prone for long periods, ties can cut into the corners of the mouth and cause severe facial damage. Leafix as an adhesive product doesn't pose this risk but will provide a much safer alternative to tapes.

🫀Cardiac procedures are lengthy and when the patient is transferred to ICU - Leafix can streamline the airway fixation method, providing security and consistency through the entire period of the intubation.

👂🏻👃🏻ENT when access is required to parts of the facial anatomy and movement of the tube can compromise security. The flexible design of Leafix ensures it can be adapted to suit any circumstances.

🦾Any Robotic procedure done in the steep Trendelenburg position. Ties are not advised to secure the airway in this position as they wrap around the back of the head and can contribute to neurological impairment following the surgery. Leafix is proving to be a safer securement method in this case.

Above all else - tape and ties are not safe or designed for securing an airway!
