Hospital Alert WristbandsHospital Alert WristbandsPatient Alert Wristbands
Wristbands are used in hospitals to quickly communicate certain health care information. Some of the wristbands are colored and designated to state certain health care conditions and status to readily alert everyone who cares for the patient.
Alert Wristband colors have different meanings. In addition, words are included on the wristband to further reduce the chance of confusion about the alert messages. The American Hospital Association (AHA) recommends that all member hospitals use standardized colors. Waterproof Polyester - guaranteed to stay on in the waterOur Alert Wristbands are made of a latex-free polyester material that is waterproof and safe from sensitive skin. Polyester wrist bands are waterproof and more durable and secure than Tyvek wrist bands. They are stretch-resistant and strong, yet lightweight and flexible. They are ideal for multi-day use and/or rugged wear. They come in vibrant, solid colors for excellent visibility and identification.
However, the national association recommends hospitals to apply several wristbands risk-reduction strategies. For instance, the alert wristbands should be placed on the same arm as the patient's ID band. Hospitals should use preprinted or embossed wristbands, and no one should write on the wristbands. To avoid confusion, nurses should ask the patient to remove all "social cause" wristbands, and if the person refuses, to have him or her sign an, acknowledging the risks, form.
