Patient identification is now the norm within any healthcare industry, with each patient requiring a wristband to identify who they are to ensure patient safety. These requirements within the healthcare industry, have expanded the number of different wristbands that are available on the market. With each wristband offering multiple features, such as material, adhesive and closing options. How can you ensure you have the ultimate patient identification solution? Particularly options for babies and young children, where material and adhesive are so important.

Introducing Zebra Technologies, and the softest direct thermal on the market. Zebra takes a softer approach with their Z-Band UltraSoft adhesive wristband, with a soft, flexible material that is ideal for babies and young children. Zebra’s UltraSoft wristbands allow you to print patient information and barcodes directly onto the material, ensuring text is easy to read, and barcodes are scannable for up to 14 days. Zebra’s Development team have also taken things a step further by testing image durability to guarantee a high-quality scanning performance, with no time wasted with repeated scans.

The wristband also features a silver antimicrobial coating that protects the wristband, as well as a quick and easy adhesive tab or colour clip to fasten it, which is ideal for a busy hospital environment.

Beneficially, the Z-Band wristbands are also available as a Maternity ID solution, where the printing of mother and newborn baby patient ID’s, can be done in one set.
