Abstract:
A blood-recipient identification device takes the form of an elongated band sized and configured to be folded and unfolded. The band has a head region including a first area in which information can be directly imprinted when the band is folded. The band has a tail region that opposes the head region when the band is unfolded. The tail region includes a second area comprising an image material. When the band is folded, the first area of the head region is placed into direct overlaying registry with the second area of the tail region. Imprinting information in the first area when the band is folded creates an image of the information in the second area. The band carries an identification code on the head and tail regions in association with the information imprinted in the first and second areas.
