Badge Reels for Nurses
Your ID badge comes out for every door swipe, drug room and patient scan, so it should be easy to reach and quick to put away. Infectious Clothing Company stocks retractable badge reels for nurses and healthcare staff, from plain professional reels to fun medical designs that make your badge a talking point on the ward.
Quick Answer: A badge reel clips to your scrub pocket, waistband or lanyard and holds your ID card on a retractable cord. Pull it out to swipe or scan, then let go and it snaps back. Look for a metal back clip, a reinforced strap with a snap fastener and a swivel so the cord doesn't tangle.

The same idea for your pen. A heavy duty steel cord keeps your pen clipped to you all shift, so it doesn't walk off from the nurses' station.
What to Look for in a Badge Reel
A firm back clip. A smooth metal clip grips scrub pockets and waistbands without snagging the fabric.
A reinforced strap. A snap fastener strap holds your card securely and is easy to swap between badges.
A swivel. A 360° swivel stops the cord twisting when you swipe at different angles.
Easy to wipe. Smooth plastic and PVC designs wipe down quickly with a detergent wipe.

Frequently Asked Questions: Badge Reels
What is a badge reel?
A badge reel is a small retractable holder for your ID card. It clips to your clothing or lanyard, and the card pulls out on a cord so you can swipe or scan it, then retracts back into place when you let go.
Will a badge reel fit my hospital ID card?
Our badge reels use a standard snap strap that fits ID cards with a punched slot, and most card sleeves and holders. If your card has no slot, pop it into a card holder first and clip the holder to the reel.
Can I clip a badge reel to a lanyard?
Yes. The back clip attaches to most lanyards, scrub pockets, waistbands and belt loops.
How do I clean my badge reel?
Wipe it down with a damp cloth or detergent wipe and let it dry. Avoid soaking it, as water can get into the retracting mechanism.
