Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to a highly recognizable wristband. Background Technology
[0002] Wristbands are known to be a form of identification for patients in hospitals. They are marked with the patient's name, gender, age, hospitalization, and specific markings or information, such as allergy information, special medical conditions, dietary requirements, postural requirements, and disease diagnosis. This allows different medical staff to quickly identify the patient and reduce or even avoid medical errors.
[0003] However, in actual use, existing wristbands are all single-wear wristbands. During use, due to the limited length of the wristband, the information it carries is limited, which may lead to nursing errors or medical accidents due to incomplete markings or information provided by the patient's wristband. Therefore, a wristband with high recognition is proposed as a further improvement. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the embodiments of this utility model provide a wristband with high recognizability to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a highly recognizable wristband, the wristband comprising: a primary wristband wrapped around the patient's wrist and a secondary wristband wrapped around the primary wristband;
[0006] The primary wristband includes: an information display strap and a fixing strap.
[0007] The information display strip has an information sticker on its surface. One end of the information display strip is fixedly connected to the fixing strip, and the other end of the information display strip is connected to the fixing strip by a fixing buckle.
[0008] The secondary wristband includes: a strap body and a movable fixing buckle.
[0009] One end of the belt is connected to the other end of the belt via a movable fixing buckle. The belt is mounted on a fixed belt via the movable fixing buckle, and a warning label is installed on the belt.
[0010] Furthermore, the fixing strap has several evenly distributed first buckle holes, and the fixing buckle is inserted into the first buckle holes.
[0011] Furthermore, the movable fixing buckle is fixedly installed at one end of the belt body, and a second buckle hole is opened at the other end of the belt body. The movable fixing buckle passes through the first buckle hole and the second buckle hole.
[0012] Furthermore, the primary wristband is made of a waterproof, hypoallergenic silicone gel material.
[0013] Furthermore, the strip is available in a variety of colors.
[0014] Furthermore, the information sticker is configured as a waterproof film.
[0015] Furthermore, the wristband also includes: an elastic extension band,

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0029] As attached Figure 1-4 The wristband shown includes a primary wristband 1 that wraps around the patient's wrist and a secondary wristband 2 that wraps around the primary wristband 1.
[0030] Level 1 wristband 1 includes: an information display strap 11 and a fixing strap 12.
[0031] Information stickers 13 are affixed to the surface of the information display strip 11. One end of the information display strip 11 is fixedly connected to the fixing strip 12, and the other end of the information display strip 11 is connected to the fixing strip 12 through a fixing buckle 14.
[0032] The secondary wristband 2 includes: a wristband body 21 and a movable fixing buckle 22.
[0033] One end of the belt body 21 is connected to the other end of the belt body 21 via a movable fixing buckle 22. The belt body 21 is installed on the fixing belt 12 via the movable fixing buckle 22. A warning sign 23 is installed on the belt body 21.
[0034] Among them, since multiple secondary wristbands 2 can be wrapped around the primary wristband 1, more patient information can be displayed, the patient information can be improved, and medical staff can confirm the patient's condition as soon as possible, improve the recognition rate, thereby avoiding medical accidents and reducing the risk of nursing errors or medical accidents caused by wristbands containing patient markings or incomplete information.
[0035] Currently, most wristbands use water-based pens or paper stickers to mark specific patient information and medical conditions. Water-based pens are difficult to erase, and paper stickers are easy to fall off. Therefore, the detachable secondary wristband 2 is used. It is easy to remove and take out by installing warning signs 23. The secondary wristband 2 is a disposable and reusable item, which can effectively improve medical safety, reduce medical errors, save costs, and is highly practical.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 1-4 As shown, the fixing strap 12 has several evenly distributed first buckle holes 15, and the fixing buckle 14 is inserted into the first buckle holes 15.
[0037] The fixing buckle 14 can be detachable; the fixing buckle 14 is inserted into the first buckle hole 15 to form a ring structure.
[0038] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 1-4 As shown, the movable fixing buckle 22 is fixedly installed at one end of the belt body 21, and the other end of the belt body 21 has a second buckle hole 24. The movable fixing buckle 22 passes through the first buckle hole 15 and the second buckle hole 24.
[0039] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 1-4 As shown, the material of the primary wristband 1 includes a waterproof, hypoallergenic silicone gel material.
[0040] One reason is that some patients experience wristband allergies because the regular wristbands they use are made of PVC. To prevent allergies and increase the wristband wearing rate, we use hypoallergenic material: silicone gel. Silicone gel is waterproof, breathable, soft, and fits the skin without feeling, thus reducing allergenicity, improving wearing comfort and wristband wearing rate, and preventing skin damage.
[0041] Existing wristbands suffer from poor waterproofing, are prone to fading, have short lifespans, and increase costs. Therefore, silicone gel materials are used to enhance waterproofing, extend the lifespan of wristbands, and reduce medical costs.
[0042] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 1-4 As shown, the belt body 21 is available in a variety of colors.
[0043] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 1-4 As shown, the information sticker 13 is designed to be waterproof so that the patient's information on the information sticker 13 will not be wiped off.
[0044] Among them, the use of waterproof film, when filling in patient information on information sticker 13, can effectively identify patient identity information and related conditions by using waterproof material, effectively prevent disputes and errors caused by misidentification of patient identity, reduce information errors, extend the life of the wristband and reduce costs.
[0045] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 1-4 As shown, the wristband also includes: an elastic extension band 3.
[0046] The surface of the elastic extension band 3 is provided with several evenly distributed third buckle holes 31. One end of the elastic extension band 3 is fixedly installed with an extension rope fixing buckle 32. The extension rope fixing buckle 32 is inserted into the first buckle hole 15, and the fixing buckle 14 is inserted into the third buckle hole 31; so that the two ends of the elastic extension band 3 can be connected to the two ends of the first-level wristband 1 to form a whole.
[0047] Since most existing wristbands are disposable items with no adjustable length, their applicability is limited. For example, some obese patients cannot wear them due to their body shape. If they are too tight, the skin will be in prolonged contact with the wristband, causing the patient's skin to become damp, red, and itchy, which is not conducive to moisture wicking and breathability. If they are too loose, they will hinder movement and are easy to lose. Therefore, by using an elastic extension band 3, the wearing range of use can be improved, making it suitable for patients of various body types. This will increase the applicability and also improve the wearing rate of wristbands for hospitalized patients, thus enhancing practicality.
[0048] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Before wearing the device, two people should check the patient information on the information sticker 13 and the warning label 23 to ensure that the information is accurate. Then, the information sticker 13 is placed on the information display strip 11 of the first-level wristband 1.
[0049] Subsequently, adjust the tightness according to the patient's wrist condition, so as to accommodate one finger, avoiding being too tight and affecting blood circulation, and avoiding being too loose and causing the wristband to fall off; insert the movable fixing buckle 22 of the strap body 21 into the corresponding first buckle hole 15 and second buckle hole 24; and install the fixing buckle 14 into the corresponding first buckle hole 15.
[0050] If the patient is large and the length of the primary wristband 1 is insufficient, an elastic extension band 3 is used. The two ends of the elastic extension band 3 are connected to the two ends of the primary wristband 1 to form a whole, thereby increasing the length of the fixing band 12 of the primary wristband 1.
[0051] If you have a wrist problem, you can wear it on your ankle. When wearing it, make sure that the first-level wristband 1 is below your wrist, wraps around your wrist once, and then places the other end of the first-level wristband 1 above your wrist and finally fixes it.
[0052] Among these measures, medical staff need to regularly check the wearing of the wristband to ensure that the patient wears the wristband 24 hours a day, that the skin is intact, and that the writing on the information sticker is clear.
[0053] It should be noted that while thermal printing can achieve waterproofing, it is costly; adding a separate information wristband can improve information integrity, but it is cumbersome to wear; and if allergy sufferers use pins to attach the device to their clothing, there is a risk of needle pricks or other accidents, and the device may be lost when changing clothes.
[0054] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
[0055] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
