Patient bracelets, also known as hospital wristbands or patient ID wristbands, play a crucial role in  patient safety and accurate identification. These wristbands are designed to improve patient ID accuracy, operational efficiency (scanning), and safety. They are used to identify patients, provide essential medical information, and prevent errors in healthcare processes. Let's explore some key aspects of the TAL Patient Bracelet.

Removal Protection


Geriatric patients are known to tamper and play with their bracelets until they are damaged or removed. The TAL Bracelets are secured using a patented Locking Snap which when pressed together mate and lock.  To separate the snap requires 35 lbs of force which cannot be exerted by a person’s fingernails. 

It can be removed with a bandage scissors by cutting the stem. The Bracelet can be reattached using a new pair of snaps.

Colored Risk Indicators 


Small Color Risk Pins with Round heads can be inserted into special holes on the bracelet to flag essential medical conditions. Six holes are located on either side of the bracelet to provide a view regardless of the orientation of the patient's wrists. The pins are removable.

The bracelet holes are designed so the heads of the pins drop below the surface of the band making it difficult for the wearer to pry out the pins.
