The hospital wristband that guarantees patient security

By Lisa Demattia February 22, 2024

Wristbands are essential in certain sectors. Identification wristbands are most often used in the hospital sector. When a patient is admitted to hospital, a wristband is often used to identify them. This wristband is then worn by the patient throughout their stay in hospital.

What are medical wristbands used for?

Unfortunately, medical errors are still all too common. Wearing an identification wristband in hospital considerably reduces the risk of error, preventing confusion over the identity of patients. Identification wristbands are used to identify the patient wearing it, who is then specifically monitored throughout their stay in hospital. Medical wristbands must contain certain important information about the patient: their name, medical record number, date of birth, date of admission, etc. We offer write-on medical wristbands, on which you can write the patient's data directly, or insert wristbands, so you can insert labels containing the patient's personal information. Medical wristbands make it possible to track the history of the treatment and medication administered to the patient, as well as information about their state of health and any examinations they have had.

Features of our hospital wristbands

Comfort

Our hospital ID wristbands have rounded corners so they are comfortable on the skin, even for prolonged use. To guarantee comfort, we recommend leaving a space of one finger between the fastener and the wrist. All our wristbands are hypoallergenic and do not contain latex or phthalates.

Security

Our medical wristbands come with a non-transferable, tamper-proof fastening. We have models with resistant adhesive fasteners, press stud fasteners which, once closed, cannot be opened and finally, a model for newborns and premature babies with a Velcro fastener specially designed for babies. The size of the wristband can be adjusted, as newborns often lose weight in the first few days of life.

Wristbands for all wrist sizes

We have patient ID wristbands for all wrist sizes. Most of our wristbands can be adjusted to the size of the patient's wrist, using the different holes. We also offer an extension so you can lengthen the wristband to fit the size of the patient's wrist.

Resistance

Our identity monitoring wristbands are highly resistant and have been designed to allow patients to wash themselves daily. Our medical wristbands are waterproof and resistant to the solvents used in hospitals: disinfectant, detergent, iodine, etc.

Colours

We have several colours of wristbands, to suit your needs. Using our alert wristbands, you can set up a system to inform medical staff about certain patients’ special requirements: allergies, risk of falling, do not resuscitate, etc. The alert wristbands enable care staff to identify these special requirements at a glance.
