Typenex blood bands support patient identification by providing a third unique identifier. Below you’ll find the blood band to fit your approach.

Barcode Blood Bands for Pre-Printed Labels

The band of choice if you’re concerned about missing patient information or illegible handwriting on your blood bands. Simply place your pre-printed label on the band. A barcoded sticker is applied to the specimen tube. This barcode allows you to easily scan the blood bank ID (BBID) into your Laboratory Information System, avoiding transcription errors, and saving technician time.

Barcode Blood Bands for Handwriting

Plenty of space for handwriting patient information, and then protecting it. The large BBID makes it quick and easy to check at the bedside, and the barcoded specimen tube labels allow you to easily scan the blood bank ID (BBID) into your Laboratory Information System, avoiding transcription errors while saving technician time.
