Zebra's Z-Band direct thermal wristbands allow you to print patient information and bar codes directly on the wristbands, thus eliminating the need for labels and the time consuming wristband assembly inherent to laser technology. Some of the major features include the following:.

• A silver antimicrobial coating that protects the wristband and has been shown in laboratory tests to prevent the growth and survival of microorganisms, such as S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa and MRSA Types II, III and IV.
• Scannable for up to 14 days, promoting quality patient care and safety.
• Easy to print and fasten in less than a minute using an adhesive tab or color clip.

The four major types of Zebra wristbands are Z-Band Comfort, Z-Band Direct, Z-Band QuickClip and Z-Band 4000.
