How to get a hospital bracelet(wristband) off without breaking it?

The bracelet worn by the patient in the hospital is called the identification wristband. It is used for patient identification, which contains information such as the patient's name, gender, age, and diagnosis.


The most common medical wristbands come in four materials: thermal printed wristbands, Tyvek wristbands, RFID wristbands, and PVC handwritten wristbands.

In order to better identify the patient and prevent errors, the hospital wristband is disposable. If you wear it, you can only take it off destructively. And if you take it off, you can't wear it again. So you can't get a hospital bracelet off without breaking it.


There are two types of closed wristbands commonly used:

① Paste-type medical wristband
