LaserBand LLC, the foremost global producer of patient wristbands, of late helped several hospitals realize local, regional, and nation wide color-code standards by creating Eco-friendly products, which assist in eradicating the confusion that might lead to medication errors, misidentification, and death. LaserBand’s color-code wristbands and particular safety measure products offer extremely-visible, safe, and patient-responsive solutions to the otherwise cost- and resource-consuming options at present on the market.

LaserBand has worked with statewide patient security groups, comprising the Missouri Center for Patient Safety, the Ohio Patient Safety Institute, and the New Hampshire Foundation for Healthy Communities, to provide color-code wristbands for hospitals and other health care groups denoting individual patient conditions of DNR, allergy, fall risk, latex allergy, and limb alert.

Many people are unaware of the beginning of breast cancer wristbands. The bracelets are one of the fundraisers that seem to be sticking around and making a declaration with each new wrist they style. The phenomena happening with the yellow cancer wristband worn by Lance Armstrong, people are alert of fight Armstrong had with testicular cancer, because he is a well known sportsperson, he was very open about dealing of disease. Once he started wearing the bright yellow wristband, the trend started exponentially. Dedicated on the heels of yellow cancer wristbands were the light pink breast cancer wristbands. Nobody was willing to call the baby pink breast cancer wristband a knock-off of Lance Armstrong’s bracelets, that would be certainly be the idea. Perhaps even faster than the yellow wristband, the breast cancer wristband became the new fundraiser.

Everybody wanted a breast cancer wristband to show there support of investigation and progress to fight this deadly illness, because other breast cancer alertness movements were taking place, it seemed like future would grow in reputation. The sale of pink bracelets is still strong. The reason that the wristband market has became so weak with mass production that no one can keep them all straight. You should be very careful while ordering a breast cancer wristband, so that fund should go in the correct cause.

The Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) is now very proud to declare that its founder and chairman, Lance Armstrong, is the 2008 recipient of the American Association of Cancer Institutes’ (AACI) Public Service and Advocacy Award. AACI presented the award to Armstrong on Mon., Oct. 6 in Chicago, IL, at its annual meeting. Armstrong is being really honored for the efforts in support of cancer survivors and the nation’s cancer centers. Senator Edward Kennedy was also similarly honored for his support of biomedical and cancer research.

“It is a great honor to be recognized by the AACI, especially in the same forum as a champion of healthcare reform and the war against cancer, Senator Edward Kennedy,” said Armstrong. “AACI members serve on the front lines of this fight and it is thanks to their hard work and dedication that America continues to advance into a time of great hope in the struggle against this disease.”

Wichita hospitals are now implementing a consistent system of colored wristbands as part of a statewide attempt to perk up patient safety. The Kansas Hospital Association board accepted the change earlier this year, recommending Kansas’ 125 community hospitals switch by Jan. 1.

Five colors would be set standard: purple for patients with a “do not resuscitate” order, red for allergies, yellow for fall risk, and green for latex allergy and pink for limited extremity. In Wichita, doctors, medical students, nurses and other staff usually work in more than one hospital.

“It certainly makes sense to have the armbands consistent,” said Susan Hendrickson, director of clinical excellence and patient safety for Via Christi Wichita Health System. Its facilities would switch in December; a date hasn’t been set.
