Definitions
- the present invention concerns an identification wrist-band for patients, suitable to be used in hospitals, nursing homes and similar.
- one of the systems recently adopted in the hospital field for the identification of patients provides to apply a permanent fastening wristband to the wrist of the patient (obviously for the time of the hospitahsation) on which an identification code containing the main administrative and clinical data of the patient are reported, as expressed in a codified form for the automatic reading eventually integrated with data that are expressed for the direct reading on behalf of the operator (" human readable ").
- This system makes the automatic identification of the patient and its clinical/administrative data in occasion of every operation either medical
- the known identification wrist-bands are made up of a strip of thin but relatively rigid plastic material or of plasticised paper with similar characteristics, that has a portion with greater width, generally with rectangular shape, on which a code containing the data of the patient is memorised by different ways, for instance a bar code or a two-dimensional code.
- the memorised code can be read and can be recognised by means of appropriate readers when necessary.
- the wrist-band For its fastening to the wrist of the patient the wrist-band provides a series of equidistant holes along the plastic strip and a coupling pin on the opposite end, that is positioned in proximity of a foldable tongue.
- the coupling pin gets engaged in one of the holes and the foldable tongue is then folded onto the pin, that gets inserted into a hole provided in the tongue. Finally everything is fastened by means of an self-locking plastic rivet. Once the fastening has been carried out, the end of the pierced part of the plastic strip that is left over from the coupling pin is then cut in order to prevent it from overlapping the zone that contains the identification code of the patient.
- Scope of the present invention is now to provide an identification wristband for patients of the type above described, that differs from the ones currently known in an easier and more comfortable application to the wrist of the patient.
- a wrist-band comprising a tag portion that is destined to the support of an identification code of the patient and a flexible strip part that is fastenable in a permanent way around the wrist of patient and provided with a sequence of holes, characterized in that said flexible strip is made of soft material and it is provided with cross-sectional pre-fracture lines between one and the other of the aforesaid holes and said tag part is fastened to one end of said flexible strip and it is made of two parts that are closable by folding and are snap fastenable in a permanent way, between which parts the other end of the flexible strip is passed and locked by means of at least a pin that is inserted in one of said holes.
- the wrist-band according to the invention has therefore the prerogative of being comfortable for the patient, due to the soft material being used for the flexible strip, and not to require any cutting tool for the removal of the exceeding strip, since the pre-fracture'lines that are present between one hole and the other allow to carry out the same removal manually.
- Fig. 1 shows a plan view of a wrist-band according to the invention before its application to the wrist of a patient
- Fig. 2 shows the tag part of said wrist-band in magnified longitudinal section according to line H-II of Fig. 1;
- Fig. 3 shows the tag part of said wrist-band in magnified cross section according to line III-III of Fig. 1;
- Fig. 4 shows in perspective view the same wrist-band in a condition fastened to the wrist of a patient, before the removal of the exceeding part of the flexible strip;
- Fig. 5 shows in perspective view the same wrist-band after the removal of the exceeding part of the flexible strip.
- the wrist-band illustrated in the drawings comprises a tag part 2 and a flexible strip part or strap 3 with a sequence of equally distanced holes 4 that are intervalled from the cross-sectional pre-fracture lines 5.
- the two parts 2 and 3 are made of a single piece of non rigid plastic material, for instance of rubber material.
- the tag part 2 is made of two parts 6 and 1, respectively bottom and top, that are closable by folding by means of rotation around the axis of a foldable plastic coupling tape or hinge
- the bottom part 6, from which the flexible strip 3 extends, has a external face destined to rest on the wrist of the patient, while the top part 7 has an external face destined to the support of an identification code 9 ( Figures 4 and 5) that contains the main data of the patient to whom the wrist-band is destined and is memorised in a microchip 10 below.
- the internal face of the bottom part 6 has a pair of pins 11 that are arranged one after the other m the same direction of the holes 4 of the flexible strip 3 and have a mutual distance equal to twice the distance between the holes 4.
- the internal face of the top part 7 has in turn a pair of holes 12 that are arranged so as to receive, in parts 6 and 7 closed by folding, the aforesaid pins 11 of the bottom part 6. Finally from the internal face of the top part 7 two hook elements 13 extend toward the bottom which are destined to fit in a permanent way into two corresponding cavities 14 of the internal face of the bottom part 6. As shown in Fig.
- the wrist-band 1 is applied to the wrist of a patient, schematised in 15, by laying onto the same the external face of the bottom part 6, by folding the flexible strip 3 around the same wrist, thus inserting the two pins 11 of the bottom part 6 of the tag part 2 in an appropriated pair of holes 4 of the flexible strip 3, by closing the top part 7 of the tag part 2 on the bottom part 6 so that the two holes 12 of the first receive the two pins 11 of the second, and finally by locking the two parts 6 and 7 to each other in a permanent way by means of fitting of the hook elements 13 in the cavities 14.
