Laser Band®. The patient identification system that
eliminates mistaken identity.

Laser Band is a unique combination of materials that enables the generation of a patient I.D. band from a standard laser printer. This easy to read identification system has a large area for laser-imaging the patient's name, account numbers, bar codes and any other additional information.

When it comes to accurately and efficiently identifying hospital patients, no other patient identification system offers immediate improvements in accuracy and registration like Laser Band.

The Laser Band solution was designed to survive the rigors of a hospital environment. The moisture-proof seal, tear-proof material, and an image area sealed in mylar assures legibility and bar code readability throughout the patient's stay. With the Laser Band solution, processing time is reduced due to the fact that all patient information is printed using a standard laser printer. And because it uses a standard 8 1/2" x 11" format, or standard laser-compatible sizes, there's no need for special print trays. In fact, the Laser Band solution allows for trouble-free feeding using Lexmark, Hewlett-Packard or Xerox laser printers.
