KYROBAND - BIODEGRADABLE WRISTBAND
____________________________________
The “kyroBAND” is an innovative bracelet ideal for the patient identification with or without RFID.
This bracelet is completely made with hypoallergenic and biodegradable materials. The ribbon around the wrist is weaved in paper thread, a natural product that doesn’t cause any allergic reaction and is biodegradable after a few weeks of use.

The bracelet is made of clips that can’t be opened again once they are closed for the first time. This plastic system is also fully biodegradable.
Identification bracelets are used in a lot of residences and hospitals to avoid confusions in the management of drugs, medical tests or interventions. They are products that increase the patient security.

All the bracelets used are made of plastic or derivates (PVC, vinyl, etc.) and in some people this represents a problem because they can cause sores in the wrist.
Therefore, some bracelet systems aren’t reliable enough to be used in mental healthcare centers, where the patients use to break the bracelets if the lock system is too simple.
The new bracelet resolves and improves some of the actual technical problems because:
- The paper textile is 100% non-allergenic and has a soft touch.
- The paper-made biodegradable ribbon is very resistant even when washing.
- The closure system can’t be opened once it is closed so the ribbon must be cut to release it.
- The biodegradable bracelet contributes in decreasing the hospital wastes.
- Inside the plastic lock there is space to introduce a passive radiofrequency chip. This way, it isn’t necessary to use different types of bracelet because the same model can be used as tag or ID.

The bracelet has multiple uses. The ribbon and the lock can be used as ID, writing directly into the plastic or paper (which is the usual in most of the centers). They can be used to set active tags or as an identification system using passive RFID tags. The passive RFID tags can be read with a portable reader or a Palm, for example, from a few centimeters.
