Antimicrobial wristbands are used in hospitals to protect patients from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli and other forms of bacteria tied to hospital acquired infections.  Truth be told, hospital acquired infections present themselves more often then we’d like to imagine and patient wristbands are thought to be a source.  Wristbands are used for patient identification and are a vital part of a patient’s specifics regarding their admittance into the hospital.  However, it also can be a problem for the wristband is repeatedly touched and referenced throughout ones stay at a hospital.
