The relationship between hospitals and wristbands spans decades, and given the main purpose of a wristband is to identify something about the wearer, this connection makes a lot of sense. In the simplest of terms, hospital wristbands contain a patient’s most vital information pertinent to the care they’ll receive from the attending medical personnel (doctor, surgeon, nurse, etc.). We see our solid-colored wristbands used prevalently for patient screening, displaying positive/negative test results, discerning levels of condition severity, and more. They can also can have alert warnings on them to notify everyone around of the potential state a patient is in. They also notify the workers of who is a patient and who is a guest to make their jobs easier and add security to the work place as a whole.
Hospital Wristband Uses
Hospital wristbands aren't just for patient identification, nor are they only intended for wrists! Wristbands provide reliable, cost-effective solutions that can be implemented as tags, labels, and markers to communicate vital information in a medical setting. This is done when the band color coincides with a facility’s existing standards, or communicates specific information about a device or part of the facility.
Design Hospital Wristbands
From our website, you can create custom wristbands that meet the needs of your healthcare facility. Many institutions choose to create a generic design, which includes their name, logo, and other details, while also leaving room for additional information to be written on the band using permanent marker. You can also create designs that communicate specific patient information, such as alergies, fall risk alerts, and more (see above). Using our online configuration tool, you can create the perfect designs in just a matter of minutes and save them to your account for later re-order.
