As the inventors of the ZD510-HC Wristband Printing Solution (formerly the HC100), Zebra takes patient ID seriously. Designed for use in Zebra’s market-leading thermal printers, Zebra’s Z-Band wristbands are one of the most durable thermal wristbands available. Outside laboratory tests have confirmed that Zebra wristbands withstand a wider range of hand-sanitizers in comparison to a leading competitor, ensuring scannability and reducing the instances of nurse workarounds.
