In a healthcare centre, accurate patient identification is the first link in the safety chain. An error in reading or an illegible wristband can compromise the provision of care. To guarantee maximum safety, your choice of printing equipment is crucial.

Here are the 5 essential criteria for choosing the right wristband printer for your establishment.

Unlike traditional handwritten or laminated wristbands, a thermal wristband is clearly, precisely and durably printed. The text and barcodes remain perfectly legible, even after repeated exposure to water, alcohol-based solutions and friction as a result of day-to-day care. This level of durability is essential to avoid any confusion, particularly when taking samples, administering medication or giving transfusions, where incorrect identification can have serious consequences.
