Zippsafe introduces ZippBag & ZippScan

A way to efficiently handle patient belongings in hospitals

ZippBag and ZippScan form a smart and secure solution for the handling of patient belongings in hospitals and healthcare facilities. Together, they ensure that personal items are stored, transported, and tracked in a hygienic, organized, and efficient manner—helping staff save time, avoid errors, and provide a more dignified experience for patients.

The ZippBag is a reusable textile bag specifically designed to hold patient belongings during their stay. It offers storage for a hand luggage, is made of durable and washable materials, and includes features like a transparent pocket for documentation or labeling. Its design ensures that all personal items—from clothing to valuables—can be stored securely and hygienically in one place, eliminating the need for disposable plastic bags or improvised storage methods.

Complementing the ZippBag is ZippScan, a digital scanning and tracking system that logs each bag and links it to the patient’s profile. This ensures full traceability of belongings throughout the patient journey—from admission to discharge or transfer. Staff simply scan the bag at each handover point, reducing the risk of lost items and ensuring clear accountability. The process is fast, intuitive, and seamlessly integrates into existing workflows without additional administrative burden.

By combining physical security with digital oversight, ZippBag and ZippScan bring structure and reliability to a process that is often chaotic and inconsistent. The result is better organization for hospital staff, improved safety and hygiene standards, and a more respectful treatment of patient property.
