Medical Identification Bracelet/Medical ID bracelet
The Men's Engravable Medical ID bracelet is made from stainless steel and will only irritate those with allergies to stainless steel.
Medical alert bracelets are available from the MedicAlert Foundation. They can also be purchased from Lauren's Hope or can be found at Medical ID Fashions.
The advantage of wearing such a bracelet is to make a medical professional aware of one's diseases if he or she is not able to voice them. For example, if a diabetic were to pass out due to low blood sugar, a bracelet should tip a paramedic that glucagon is required.
While no details are actually required, name, pertinent medical information and emergency contact information are generally the most important details on a medical ID bracelet.
"Because it protects against potentially harmful medical errors and also because in an emergency, when you might not be able to speak for yourself, a medical ID bracelet or necklace speaks for you."
It is good to have a medical bracelete that is obvious to any observer.
Medical ID bracelets are available at most drugstores such as Walgreens and Walmart. They are also available at Life Line. These bracelets can be inscribed with the condition one has, and have been known to save lives.
"Yes, there are medical ID bracelets for diabetics. It is possible to purchase a generic bracelet for diabetics, or to have one custom made with the individual's name, condition, and special requests such as to call a particular physician engraved on the bracelet."
Medical ID bracelets can be purchased at a variety of online stores. Walgreens, Wal-Mart, MedicAlert, and Amazon, for example, are known to offer these bracelets.
medical id/alert bracelts are not very expensive and definitely worth the cost when you look at potential cost for not making your medical information aware to EMS/those responding. check out http://www.americanmedical-id.com/ as you can customize your medical alert bracelet from $25 USD.
