Beaded medical alert bracelets

Medical identification tag is a small emblem worn on the clothes, neck chain or on the bracelet which provides important medical information about the wearer. Usually, information is about important medical condition this person suffers from, and which might be critical to know in certain situations. Emergency staff, paramedics and doctors who respond to emergency calls always look for such tags, in case the person is not old enough or conscious to give complete information about his or hers condition.

Why are Medical Bracelets Useful

Medical alert bracelets are a form of these tags, containing crucial information. At first, diabetic patients were the only ones to use these bracelets, but after a while many people realized how important is to have important medical info handy. These bracelets are very helpful when the medical personnel need to evaluate the patient’s condition very quickly or to resuscitate him/her.

In some cases, not wearing the bracelet might cause further problems. For instance, diabetic patient may fall on the street on a particularly hot afternoon. If he or she is not wearing a medical alert bracelet he/she might be misdiagnosed and treated for the heat shock. Medical staff won’t know that he is in diabetic coma if there is no information about diabetes at hand.

Medical bracelets are also great to ensure proper medical treatment and prevent any potential medical errors when a patient is admitted or discharged from the hospital.

Because of all before mentioned everyone should wear medical bracelets, regardless of their age or medical condition. It is suited for men, women and children of both sexes, too.
