All Risk® Non-Wristband Triage Tags for MCI Response

All Risk® Non-Wristband Triage Tags are designed for agencies that need a durable, field-ready triage tag for documenting patient information during mass casualty incidents. Like the wristband versions, these tags use a cotton string to secure the tag to the patient, patient clothing, equipment, or belongings depending on the response environment and agency preference.

The primary difference between wristband and non-wristband versions is operational preference and patient identification workflow. Wristband versions include an integrated patient wristband that can be applied later in the incident or once the patient reaches a treatment or hospital environment, while non-wristband versions maintain a more traditional triage tag configuration.

Each tag supports secondary triage documentation and patient tracking by providing space for acuity level, treatment details, contamination status, decontamination information, airway management, allergies, GCS information, tourniquet use, blast injury indicators, and transport documentation.

Why Use Non-Wristband Triage Tags?

Non-wristband triage tags are commonly used by agencies that prefer a more traditional triage tag configuration during MCI response. This format is useful in field response, treatment areas, hospital surge environments, and training scenarios where responders need a visible and portable method for documenting patient information.

These tags help bridge the gap between initial triage and patient movement. Once a patient has been categorized through initial triage, the triage tag becomes a central documentation tool for treatment area personnel, transportation officers, and patient tracking teams.

Supporting Treatment, Transport, and Patient Accountability

During an MCI, patient information must move with the patient. The All Risk® Non-Wristband Triage Tag supports this process by helping responders document condition, care, acuity level, and transport details in one organized format.

The enhanced transportation receipt is especially useful when paired with a receipt holder. This allows patient number, acuity, and destination information to remain available for quick reference during ambulance loading, patient movement, and destination tracking.

Designed to Fit Multiple Triage Protocols

This series includes multiple versions to support different agency protocols and terminology preferences. Standard, Florida, Military, SALT, RAMP, and Canadian versions allow organizations to select the tag format that best aligns with their operating procedures, training programs, and response environment.

The Florida version uses “EXPECTANT” instead of “MORGUE.” The Military version uses “EXPECTANT” instead of “MORGUE” and “MINIMAL” instead of “MINOR.” SALT and RAMP versions include triage algorithm references specific to those systems.

How These Tags Fit Into the MCI Workflow

In many MCI operations, responders use ribbons or other rapid indicators during initial triage. Once patients are moved to treatment areas, triage tags provide a more detailed documentation method for secondary triage, treatment notes, transport coordination, and patient accountability.

This makes All Risk® Non-Wristband Triage Tags a practical component of a larger MCI response system that may also include triage ribbon dispensers, treatment area tarps or flags, EMT3® Go-Kits, command vests, patient tracking forms, and transportation worksheets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between wristband and non-wristband triage tags?
Both versions utilize a cotton string to secure the triage tag to the patient, clothing, equipment, or belongings. Wristband versions additionally include an integrated patient wristband that can be applied later in the patient care process, often once the patient reaches a treatment area or hospital environment. The choice between versions is typically based on agency preference and operational workflow.

When should non-wristband triage tags be used?
Non-wristband tags are commonly used during secondary triage, treatment area operations, patient transport coordination, disaster drills, and MCI documentation workflows.

Are these tags waterproof?
Yes. All Risk® Triage Tags are designed with waterproof / blood proof material for field and disaster response environments.

How many tags come in each pack?
Each pack includes 50 triage tags.

Can these tags be used with SALT triage?
Yes. A SALT version is available within this series and includes the SALT triage algorithm.

Can these tags be used with RAMP triage?
Yes. A RAMP version is available within this series and includes the RAMP triage algorithm.

What is different about the Florida version?
The Florida version uses the term “EXPECTANT” rather than “MORGUE.”

What is different about the Military version?
The Military version uses “EXPECTANT” instead of “MORGUE” and “MINIMAL” instead of “MINOR.”

What is the transportation receipt used for?
The transportation receipt helps document patient number, acuity level, and destination information during ambulance loading and patient movement.
