The stretch wristband is made from a unique band material manufactured using a patented crochet process, which ensures that the band is comfortably soft and light, yet durable and reliable. The band has total insulation on the outside for maximum protection. The inside of the band is lined with a special yarn that is coated in silver to provide superior conductivity and is constructed to ‘float’ on the underside of the band to offer maximum contact with the skin. The adjustable bands are made to fit any size wrist and the buckles are made with static dissipative nylon material. The backplate is made from anti-allergenic material.
The Ergo wristband is made from jewellery-grade expandable stainless steel, and is insulated with a triple-layer oven-baked coating, similar to that used in the automobile industry. All models of metal bands come with patented ‘X-tenders’, interconnectable plastic links which enable the user to adjust or expand the strap to any wrist size by using one or more of the five pieces provided.
All these wristbands come with a 3 mm stud with 360° swivel, and meet or exceed IEC 61340-5-1, MIL HDBK 263B, MIL STD 1686B and ANSI/ESD-S1.1-2006 specifications.
