Selecting easy-to-read, antimicrobial wristbands can improve patient safety in several ways. Patient wristbands allow patients to quickly verify their information and allow medical staff to easily identify patient details. Wristbands that are durable, water and alcohol resistant help prevent the spread of infections in hospitals. Using metal-free wristbands ensures patient safety during MRI scans by eliminating potential dangers. Ensuring wristbands are replaceable means patients will not go without important identification for long periods of time.
