  • Publication number: 20160078787
    Abstract: A medical band assembly for identifying a patient and items and/or samples related to the patient may have an elongated body that may be formed into a loop. The medical band assembly supports a flag label on one of its surfaces. The flag label has a pair of flag sections joined together by an intermediate support bridge. The flag label is separable from the medical band and attachable to an object to be labeled by wrapping the flag label around the object, such that the next extends around the object, and securing the flag sections together on the opposing side.

  • Patent number: 8099890
    Abstract: A closure mechanism receiving aperture presents a substantially contiguous, uninterrupted planar surface on a flexible medium, primarily for use with identification devices, i.e., wristbands. The aperture does not interrupt the printable area so that printer ink may be printed over the aperture without passing through. The inventive aperture also does not produce waster material or chads which can jam or foul-up a printer. An inventive wristband includes both snap closure and adhesive closure mechanisms that can be used at the same time.

  • Patent number: 8056931
    Abstract: A multi-part form includes a wristband with related tags and labels. The tags are configured for mounting on the wristband after the wristband has been secured to a person of object to be identified. The multi-part form is also configured with a wristband portion separate from a plurality of utility groups, each of which is separate from the other, by a street devoid of media layer. The layers that comprise the multi-part form are preferably solvent resistant so as to make the identification products more durable and longer lasting.

  • Publication number: 20090094872
    Abstract: The wristband system includes a tag having an identification area for receiving information associated with an object to be identified. A dual attachment mechanism is associated with the tag and generally includes a slit in the tag and an adhesive disposed on at least a portion of the tag. The wristband system further includes an elongated flexible strap having a fastener for retaining the strap in a closed loop configuration around the object to be identified. In turn, the tag is configured to fixedly attach to the strap by threaded engagement of the slit or retention by the adhesive.
