Medical Identification Tags

Medical identification tags are worn to reveal the health condition of the wearer in any emergency condition. Tags for medical alert are mostly available as jewellery items like bracelets, necklaces and anklets.

Medical identification refers to a small tag that mentions the medical condition of the wearer. In the emblem or tag, notes are written that mention the disease, allergies or current medications prescribed by the physician. The main objective of medical identification tags or ID is to bring into notice in case of medical emergencies the wearer may face. These identification tags are worn as bracelets, necklace or other jewellery items. Most people prefer wearing medical ID bracelets, rather than other items.

Uses of Medical Identification Tags

As already mentioned, medical identification tags are effective for acknowledging the health condition of the wearer in case he/she is not in a position to communicate. To be precise, medical alert tags are first-aid tips for the medical experts like doctors and nurses, which in turn help in saving the life of the wearer in case of emergency. As per statistics, medical experts look for the medical alert jewellery in more than 90 percent of emergency cases.

From such medical alert tags, the emergency team can acknowledge the current situation, thus preventing the delayed treatments and/or the wrong treatments. In some IDs, phone numbers to be contacted in case of emergencies are mentioned. As per the American Diabetes Association, all diabetic patients are recommended to wear medical alert system, particularly for those who are on the medications for lowering the blood sugar levels. Overall, these tags help in seeking immediate medical attention to avoid severe complications or life-threatening conditions.

Types of Medical Identification Tags

Medical identification tags are categorized into several types, based on the technology, information provided and the material used in making the ID. One of the most commonly used medical alert tags is medical ID jewellery, which can be made up of stainless steel, silver and/or gold. The health condition of the wearer is engraved in the jewellery.

In recent times, a new technology of USB medical alert tag has been proposed. In comparison to the conventional medical identification bracelets, these USB alert tags have more storage capacity. Nevertheless, USB alert tags cannot be accessed without a computer. Considering this drawback, conventional medical alert tags are more advantageous as they can be viewed anytime without using any type of technology.

Ideal Medical identification Tags

The medical identification tags should provide clear and readable information. The engraved text may vary as per the person's choice. In majority of the medical alert IDs, there are four lines, in which the first line is marked for the name, second line for the current health condition, third line for the allergies and fourth line for the current medications. In some cases, the identification tag may be limited with only two lines, while some may extend to six lines. In the latter case, the information like emergency number and home address can be mentioned.

In addition, one can also order customized medical alert IDs with different designs, text information and material type. On the safety note, it is always advisable to wear visible identification card along with medical identification tags. The identification card should include additional information such as concerned physician's name, dosage of medications and address.
