Medical identification bands & jewellery

Medical identification which can be worn by the child such as a bracelet, medallion or shoe tab is another important safety measure. In the event of an emergency where parents or carers are unable to provide information, medical response personnel can access the child's important information; that he/she has a seizure disorder, medication, hospital ID numbers.

There are a wide range of emblems, chains, jewellery, bracelets available to suit different tastes and lifestyles. In the USA, for example, The MedicAlert® emblem is instantly recognized by response personnel and law enforcement. It informs personnel to contact our 24-Hour Emergency Response Service and access the child's critical information.
