Zebra LB2-PED-L2-BLU Pediatric Simple Closure LaserBand 2 Wristband — Blue
Overview
The Zebra LB2-PED-L2-BLU is a blue pediatric patient identification wristband in the LaserBand 2 Simple Closure format, designed for laser printing on standard 8.5" x 11" sheet stock. Each carton contains 1,000 wristbands — a practical replenishment quantity for high-volume pediatric units, emergency departments, or any facility running laser-printed patient ID workflows. The simple closure mechanism is engineered for secure, comfortable fit on smaller pediatric patients without requiring adhesive or hardware tools.
Key Features
- Blue Color Coding: The blue designation supports at-a-glance patient population identification — commonly used in pediatric protocols to differentiate patient cohorts at the unit or facility level without adding additional labeling steps.
- 8.5" x 11" Laser-Compatible Sheet Format: Prints directly on standard laser printers already in use at most nursing stations, eliminating the need for dedicated thermal hardware or specialty printer investments for facilities that have not yet deployed direct-thermal wristband printing.
- Simple Closure Design: The LaserBand 2 closure secures without adhesive overlap onto printed information, preserving barcode readability and text legibility throughout the patient's stay — a common failure point with older adhesive-closure wristband designs.
- 1,000-Count Carton: Carton-level packaging (UOM: Carton) simplifies purchasing and inventory management for central supply departments managing par-level stock across multiple units.
- Zebra Technologies Manufacture: Produced by Zebra Technologies, a recognized supplier of patient identification media to acute care facilities, ensuring consistent dimensional tolerances for reliable laser printer feed and barcode scan performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What printer type is required for the LB2-PED-L2-BLU?
A: The LB2-PED-L2-BLU is designed for standard laser printers using 8.5" x 11" sheet media. It is not a thermal transfer or direct-thermal product.
Q: How many wristbands are included per carton?
A: Each carton of the LB2-PED-L2-BLU contains 1,000 wristbands.
Q: What does the blue color signify on the LB2-PED-L2-BLU?
A: The blue color is the wristband body color, commonly used in pediatric patient identification protocols to support visual differentiation. Specific color-coding meaning varies by facility policy.
Q: Is the LB2-PED-L2-BLU suitable for adult patients?
A: The LB2-PED-L2-BLU is configured as a pediatric wristband. Sizing and closure are intended for pediatric patient populations. Confirm fit requirements with your facility's patient ID standards before ordering for adult use.
Q: What is the label size for the LB2-PED-L2-BLU sheet?
A: The sheet size is 8.5" x 11", compatible with standard laser printer paper trays.
The LB2-PED-L2-BLU is a straightforward replenishment SKU for facilities already running Zebra LaserBand 2 pediatric wristband workflows on laser printers — it is not a configurable or programmable item, and buying decisions here are primarily about color protocol compliance and carton quantity planning rather than technical evaluation.
Technical Highlights:
- Sheet Format (8.5" x 11"): Feeds through any standard office laser printer without driver changes — no specialty hardware required at the point of care, which matters when nursing stations need to print on demand.
- Simple Closure Mechanism: Designed to avoid adhesive contact with printed barcode areas, which is the primary readability failure mode in older wristband designs — barcodes stay scannable through the patient's stay.
- 1,000-Count Carton: At 1,000 units per carton, a single order covers a meaningful buffer for a medium-volume pediatric unit without excessive on-unit storage requirements.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify your facility color-coding protocol before ordering at volume — blue may carry a specific patient status or alert meaning at your institution that conflicts with using it as a general pediatric identifier.
- This is a laser-printer product, not direct thermal — it will not print on Zebra ZD or ZT series thermal printers. Confirm your print hardware before purchasing.
Best suited for pediatric inpatient units, pediatric emergency bays, or any facility standardized on laser-printed LaserBand 2 wristbands that needs a reliable blue-color replenishment carton without switching wristband platforms.
