Banding babies with comfort and safety
The Hugs band is a vital component of our market-leading Hugs Infant Protection solution, providing unparalleled security for newborns and paediatric patients. Designed to work seamlessly with the Hugs tag, it ensures that infants are automatically enrolled in the system once the tag is banded on the baby’s ankle. You’ll receive an audible confirmation, giving you instant reassurance that the infant is protected.
The Hugs band features advanced tamper detection technology, allowing MobileView software to alert staff immediately if the band is cut or removed, signalling potential unauthorised attempts to take the infant from the hospital (stranger or family obduction attempts). This critical layer of security has safeguarded infants in hospitals for over two decades, making Hugs the most trusted infant protection system on the market.
Crafted with comfort in mind, the band is latex-free, soft, flexible, and designed for single-use. Available in two sizes, it can easily be adjusted to accommodate normal infant weight fluctuations, ensuring both safety and comfort. The longer band can be used for older paediatric patients.
