Patient ID wristbands are a hotbed for infection-causing bacteria. Now, with Zebra's antimicrobial coated Z-Band wristbands, your patients can wear durable, scannable and comfortable wristbands that resist the three leading causes of infections in U.S. hospitals today.

Zebra's Z-Band Direct Thermal Wristbands feature an inorganic ionic silver coating that kills microorganisms that come into contact with it. As the silver ions are taken into the microorganisms, they react and bond to the cellular enzyme. This inhibits the microorganisms' enzyme activity and multiplication, which eliminates them. Zebra's antimicrobial coating has been clinically proven to prevent the growth and survival of the following microorganisms on our wristbands:

• S. aureus
• P. aeruginosa
• E. coli

Available with a pressure-sensitive pull tab or a clip closure, Zebra's Z-Band Direct Thermal Wristbands are also:

• Easy to use: within seconds you can print and secure the wristband.
• Highly durable: they're specially coated to resist water, soaps, chemicals and other elements so the printed bar codes remain crisp and scannable for up to 14 days.

Bar coded patient identification wristbands provide the necessary foundation for preventing medical errors by making accurate patient information available at the point of care. With Zebra's antimicrobial coated wristbands, you can further extend those powerful benefits by protecting your hospital's wristbands from dangerous, infection-causing bacteria.
