Description
The PDC Sentry SuperBand® ID Patient Wristband (5070-13-PDM) is a premium, write-on patient identification band engineered for durability, security, and comfort in hospital settings. Constructed from lightweight, non-stretch polyester, it is designed for long-term wear without compromising patient comfort.
A tamper-evident locking snap prevents transfer and ensures positive patient identification throughout the patient’s stay. The water-resistant write-on surface maintains legibility despite exposure to handwashing, alcohol wipes, and mild soaps—making it a reliable choice for high-acuity environments.
