Medibands & Hospital Bracelets

Here at Mediband, we strive to provide useful IDentification wristband options for our clients of all shapes and sizes. One particular area of medicine we have helped simplify is within pharmaceuticals. These organisations are working hard to identify and develop new medications to help people throughout the world. But they also need the right tools to keep their patients organised and safe throughout any research process. In one specific instance, we worked with a pharmaceutical firm in helping them determine the best options for medical ID wristbands in their clinical trials. Due to the regulations regarding direct-to-consumer advertising and prescription pharmaceuticals, we cannot discuss the company by name. However, we have provided this company a straightforward method to distinguish patients, treatments and all related components to their research trials. These clients have used customised reversible ID wristbands to distinguish patients throughout these pharmaceutical trials. They distribute the bracelets based on the type of medicine being received. Additionally, the reversible printing allows other important alerts and indicators based on the specific treatment plan. Continue reading →

However, your child is allergic to peanuts – which were in the sandwich. Now school officials are in an emergency situation to help treat your child for potential anaphylactic shock. Obviously the child is unable to communicate the allergy to peanuts, so it may take a bit longer to understand the exact problem. Continue reading →
