Patient Wristband and Label Printing Solutions from Zebra Technologies

Patient Wristband Solutions

Zebra’s wristband and printing solutions provide a critical first step in patient safety improvement initiatives.  Incorporating text and a barcode, a picture or even an RFID tag, patient wristbands provide an extra (vital) safeguard against mistaken identity, and ensure that all required key data is immediately available and legible.  Nothing is left to chance.

Zebra is a leading supplier of patient wristband printing solutions that are durable, comfortable, and feature an antimicrobial coating which prevents micro-organisms from growing or surviving on the wristband.  A comprehensive range of latex-free wristbands are available for infants and babies, paediatrics and adults, and can be either clip fastened or self adhesive.  Additional options include a red pre-print to identify known risks (as per NPSA design requirements), tamper evident fastening to indicate removal, and customisation in the form of pre-printed logos, etc.
