SEGUFIX-Bandagen - Das Humane System GmbH & Co. KG
SEGUFIX offers complex solutions for patient-friendly positioning and restraint, and is approved as `humane patient restraint` among experts. Restraints should not be used to completely immobilize patients, but allow for the most possible freedom to move. The entire SEGUFIX-System is based on this concept and was therefore developed as a modular system. It consists of many component parts, each of them allowing for varying degrees of movement which may be applied to any care situation, e.g. bed egress or falls from bed. The SEGUFX-System is used with the unique SEGUFIX-Lock to quickly close the products, and may only be opened with the SEGUFIX-Key. The SEGUFIX-System is a relieve for care personnel and patients.

At the beginning of SEGUFIX® stands the company founder José Humberto Sánchez Giraldez. He invented the unique SEGUFIX®-Restraint and Positioning System, that securely restraints the patient without completely restricting their range of movement. The corresponding SEGUFIX®-Magnetic Lock may only be released with the SEGUFIX®-Magnetic Key.
Since 1969 the Sánchez Wysozki family manufactures the patented SEGUFIX®-Products according to the motto 'maximum freedom to move with the least restraint neccessary'.
The History of SEGUFIX
Since ancient times the necessity of immobilizing a patient for his recovery was common. However, restraining limbs often delayed recovery, for example by causing panic attacks or bedsores. Up to the 1960s restraint methods remained the same. Then the equally simple and brilliant idea of a worried and caring father should open a new chapter in the history of restraints.
A toddler’s miserySaid father had a two-year-old son, who suffered from severe pneumonia. When the boy resisted the necessary bed rest, the doctors had no other choice but to tie him down by his hands and feet. Confused and terrified the little boy refused to eat. When faced with this new problem, the doctors ordered force-feeding. The desperate parents couldn’t bear that thought and took their child home at their own risk.
Love is inventiveIn the comfort of his own home the little boy quickly regained his old spirits and appetite, but he still would not stay in bed. This prompted the father to create a harness to keep his son in bed, but with plenty of freedom to move, foremost leaving hands and feet unrestrained. The sick youngster accepted the harness, stayed in bed and soon recovered.
A solution for manyYears later, the father learned about the extent of medical restraint. Many patients had to suffer, just because they were not staying in bed or simply would fall out of bed - a problem he had already solved for his son many years before. Renowned physicians recognized the benefits for patients and nursing staff. Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Buerger-Prinz introduced the new restraint at the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE). Among experts the SEGUFIX®- System was met with great approval, and shortly after the SEGUFIX®-System was established internationally as the approved method of patient restraint.
Maximum freedom with minimal restraintRequirements on restraints are complex, and at times it may be necessary to restrain limbs. To meet the individual requirements our product range was expanded in close cooperation with medical professionals. Whenever new products are being developed the guiding principle ’Maximum freedom with minimal restraint’ is always applied.
