Ed Roman's suggestion for Peel Off labels seems to make a lot of sense.
In addition to reasons he submitted, some others which come to mind:
The label could be used very effectively for tracking inventory,
re-ordering (not relying of hand written/transposed numbers, etc.

Assuming there are no contrary reasons to peel off labels, I endorse the
idea.

Subject: [OANDP-L] manufacturer's labeling of components

Good Morning: This is addressed to all manufacturers of o&p components.
I always save to a patient file any and all labeling, instruction sheets
etc.
that are included with any product used on that particular patient. I
have asked several manufacturers to research a peel off label that can
then be applied to the patient's chart to document what components were
used on each patient. Some of the labels are currently attached to the
package are not reusable and I have to cut and staple this to the chart.
Being the lazy person that I am, a label that is able to be peeled off
the packaging and then stuck to the instruction sheet/progress
note/delivery ticket and inserted in the chart would make my life
easier. I have suggested this to Ossur, PDI, Seattle Systems and they
appear to have made changes and I thank them. I also will suggest that
you consider this request next time you need to order labels. Thanks
for listening to me. Ed Roman CP/LPO; Merrick Hopkins Prosthetics
