Our Product Picks
Hospital wristbands are an essential part of the infrastructure of these busy, high-footfall environments. Of the many advantages, wristbands are universally noticeable with bright, standout background colours. They can be used to notify staff or admissions teams in an instant of any essential details relevant to the care of a patient.
Medical facilities and health centres use wristbands for multiple purposes, including colour-coded wristbands and hospital entry date wristbands, which designate the day of admission for faster, more streamlined record-keeping and to ensure healthcare professionals can instantly identify if a wearer is vulnerable or has a medical condition they need to be aware of. One-use, hygienic wristbands can be used by patients, visitors, tradespeople, catering staff and medical teams or issued to inspectors or other officials who need complete access to a hospital site.
Some of our extensive range of medical wristbands include the following:
Medical Condition Alert Wristbands: These Tyvek paper wristbands are water-resistant and tear-proof, suited for use within hospitals, clinics, testing centres and other medical environments. Wristbands can be printed with your chosen lettering, denoting a severe allergy, patients with DNR orders in place, individuals with limited cognitive capacity, or to advise on physician’s instructions for providing fluids or food.
Temperature Checked Wristbands: Available in eye-catching neon colours, these Tyvek wristbands are a quick, easy way to indicate whether a patient's temperature has been checked, on what day and time, and by whom. Clinics can use red, yellow and orange wristbands for low to high-risk or on varying days.
Hospital Entry Tyvek Wristbands: Knowing at a glance when patients have been admitted or whether they are on a daily schedule for treatment, an appointment, or admission is essential. These wristbands have distinctive colours and thick, black days of the week printed onto the face, with sizing options available for children.
Traffic Light Contact Tyvek Wristbands: Our final featured wristband is printed in a traffic light system, where hospitals and medical centres can select from pre-printed text to designate patients with isolation or social distancing requirements due to underlying conditions or illnesses that mean any staff or visitors with potential viral symptoms need to keep their distance.
Full specifications, minimum order quantities and customisation options are available through the linked product pages, as shown above.
