In addition, patient comfort is important. Rigid wristbands can cause scratches on delicate skin. Zebra's Supplies Research and Development team took these into consideration when designing Z-Band UltraSoft. It is one of the softest and most durable direct thermal wristbands in the market. With over 3 billon patients identified since 1998, you can rely on Zebra.
