Zebra Updates Its Wristbanding Solution

Vernon Hills, Ill.-based Zebra Technologies introduced a cartridge-based patient ID solution that, according to the company, combines the small-footprint HC100 thermal printer and cartridges containing Zebra’s Z Band direct thermal wristbands.

Featuring a smart card that optimizes print intensity and automatically calibrates for band size, the patient ID solution facilitates quick and accurate scanning at the point of care by producing bar codes and text that withstand water, blood, soap and other liquids while remaining smudge-free for longer than the average patient stay, says the company.
