Medical bracelets should be worn by everyone with a medical condition or serious allergy. There are many places that you can find medical jewelry and the Internet has become a dependable source. Most are custom-engraved, stainless steel, gold or sterling silver bracelets or necklaces. Each one should be able to hold between four to six lines of medical data and be engraved in red so the information on the medical bracelets is easy to read.
60+ million Americans have a medical condition that should be identified on medical bracelets or some other type of medical alert jewelry. This information could be critical to the life saving efforts of emergency medical personnel. Medical bracelets can also alert EMTs to infectious conditions like HIV or hepatitis for their own protection. Allergies to medications or any other substances can be readily identified should the wearer be unable to communicate. This information could help to avert a tragedy.
Medical conditions identified on medical bracelets include diabetes, Alzheimer's, transplant surgery, mental disability, patients on Coumadin, coronary heart disease, epilepsy and asthma to name a few. Children should wear medical bracelets for personal identification purposes as well as identifying a medical condition. Heart disease patients and cancer patients, people who have drug allergies to penicillin, codeine, antibiotics, bee stings or any other medications are all candidates for medical bracelets.
