Triage solutions to guarantee patient safety

In a busy department like A&E, it's essential to have an efficient identification system in place. Our identification products can help you efficiently identify your patients and set up a priority system for access to treatment. Our triage wristbands help you quickly identify patients who need immediate attention, ensuring they receive the right treatment, in the right place, with the appropriate urgency. Patients are triaged by clinical need rather than by order of arrival, to prioritise access to treatment.

How does it work?

In a time of crisis, when emergency departments are overcrowded and the volume of patients is constantly growing, it’s vital to put in place a system that can immediately identify a patient's condition and prioritise their access to treatment. A triage system enables rapid identification of patients requiring immediate attention. You can set up several levels of priority using our medical wristbands or coloured badge holders. Each colour corresponds to a different level of priority. Red, often representing the most critical level of urgency, means that the patient requires immediate intervention. Next comes orange, which represents a very urgent priority. Next comes yellow, which represents an urgent but not critical level. Finally, green and blue represent standard and non-urgent priority levels respectively. Thanks to this system, hospital staff can assess the patient's level of urgency at a glance and provide the necessary treatment.

Which products should you choose?

Coloured medical wristbands

Triage wristbands create a common language within the hospital for all medical staff. Tyvek wristbands are ideal for use as triage wristbands. These paper-thin wristbands are strong, fastened with easy-to-use adhesive and non-transferable. Coloured thermal wristbands are also a good option. These wristbands can be printed on site using our thermal printer, allowing you to add information to the wristband if you wish. If you want wristbands that will last a little longer, opt for our coloured plastic wristbands, which are perfect for extended use. They are water-resistant and fastened with a plastic clip to prevent transfer. Our identification wristbands are available in a range of colours so you can set up a colour-based triage system.

Other accessories to help you triage patients

Coloured badge holders are also an excellent way of triaging patients according to their level of severity. Our coloured vinyl badge holder is perfect for this. The transparent pouch is topped with a pierced coloured band so you can attach it to one of our lanyards. We can supply inserts with the print of your choice. Our range includes lanyards specifically designed for hospitals and the medical sector. We offer a wide range of lanyards: cord lanyards, flat lanyards, tubular lanyards, eco-friendly lanyards and anti-bacterial lanyards. Our anti-bacterial lanyards are ideal for use in hospitals. The material used in these lanyards kills germs and bacteria, making them ideal for hospital environments where germs proliferate.
