Lincolnshire, Il

Zebra Technologies is launching additions to its comprehensive Positive Patient Identification solution set. Zebra’s new Laserband ST is a durable, low-cost way for ambulatory surgery centres and outpatient clinics to identify patients throughout their procedures.

In the United States alone there are 5,300 Ambulatory Surgery Centres & Outpatient Clinics performing more than 25 million surgeries and treatments annually. The Laserband ST has the features to meet the critical need of positively identifying patients in these ambulatory centres.  Users are able to print and secure the band to the patient’s wrist easily no assembly is needed.  They have a comfortable, patented curved edge and are made from a latex-free material.

"Zebra’s direct-print Laserband ST wristbands feature the ability to print wristbands and labels on one sheet, utilising existing laser printers, enabling simple deployment of a barcoded wristband solution,” states Laurie Eldridge-Shanaman, Global Practice Lead, Healthcare, for Zebra Technologies.

Zebra is a leader in positive patient ID, providing comprehensive wristband solutions that meet the needs of healthcare providers regardless of where the patient ID exists in the healthcare continuum.
