Enjoy Outdoor Activities Without Worry

Australia, home to 516 national parks, is a gigantic playground for outdoor activities. Nestled in its expansive territory is the 335-metre Uluru, one of the world's largest rocks. It also has the biggest sand island in the world, which is none other than the 120- km Fraser Island.

The Land Down Under is so massive that it has 17 World Heritage properties. Seven of these are in New South Wales alone, including the Gondwana Rainforests.

Wherever in the Oz you may be, however, all these places deserve a visit, if even just once in your lifetime.

But what if you're part of the 50% of Australians who have at least one selected common chronic condition? Well, this shouldn't stop you from exploring the outdoors. You can, however, make your excursions a lot safer with Mediband products.

Ready to learn all about playing it "safe" with Mediband as well as other useful outdoor safety tips? Then let's get this guide started!

Medical Alert Ids can "speak up" for you when you can't

Public hospitals in AU had over 8 million emergency departments visits from 2017 to 2018. With more patients needing emergency care, the waiting time has also increased.

Besides, many emergencies can render a person unconscious. They may also have a hard time talking to a medical responder.

In such events, first responders are often unsure of the patient's medical condition. They may also be uncertain of the person's health history, such as allergies to medication.

All these can prove to be life-threatening, especially for those who are in a serious state.

Medical alert IDs can be a patient's saving grace in these dangerous situations. When a person is unconscious, the medical identification they wear can speak up for them.

Mediband provides both "off-the-shelf" and customised medical alert wristbands, bracelets, and necklaces. Ready-made bracelets, for example, come engraved with the names of common health conditions. To name a few are type 2 diabetes, peanut allergy, or allergy to penicillin.

Tailor-made for specific outdoor activities

8% of Australians have one of some 10,000 known rare diseases. So, while they may have a "rare" condition, having a rare disorder itself is still not uncommon. After all, about the same proportion of the AU population live with asthma or even diabetes.

Still, because of their "rarity," not a lot of people are aware of what these diseases are. An example is cystic fibrosis (CF), a condition that affects about 3,500 of people in the Oz. Others also have muscular dystrophy, haemophilia, or spina bifida.

If you or your little ones have a rare disease, consider custom medical necklaces. You can have Mediband necklaces engraved with more information about the condition. You can also get a medical alert ID along with it for an even more detailed description.

With these medical identification tools, other people would know what condition you have. If you find yourself unconscious or unable to talk, they can simply check the necklace. From there, medical responders will know how to help you on the spot.

Active X Bands linked to online medical info

Mediband Active X Bands are medical alert IDs linked to a web database. The online platform provides a comprehensive guide to the band user's medical condition. First responders and medical professionals have round-the-clock access to this online knowledgebase.

With these bands, you can feel more at ease during outdoor play, especially in more remote areas. You can have peace of mind knowing that medics can access specifics about your health.

First-aid kits to keep the whole fam safe and active

Sports injuries alone land almost 60,000 Australians in hospitals every year. Cycling, equestrian, football, and netball are the top injury-causing sports.

As important as it is to say active, just as vital is always coming prepared to such activities. Mediband's First Aid Kits give you the crucial tools to administer initial wound care. These must-have kits aren't only for sports-goers though; you can take them anywhere!

For starters, they have all the basics, from bandages to dressings to burn aids and itch relief. They also come with medical must-haves like forceps, scissors, face shields, and gloves. All these make these kits ideal for when you're planning a beach trip or a few days of camping.

Wallet cards for the most emergency outdoor activities

Mediband Wallet Cards combine a medical alert bracelet with a medical information card. The bracelet itself comes with an engraved note to check the wearer's wallet for more info.

The card, on the other hand, has two sides, both of which contain pertinent health info. One side lists the medical conditions, medications, and known allergies, amongst other details. The other has the name, address, emergency contacts, doctor, and necessary emergency actions.

By carrying one of these cards, you can worry less about emergency complications of outdoor activities. This is especially important if you're currently on specific medications. Many of these medicines can interact with other drugs often given in case of emergencies.

Since the information is on your person, emergency personnel will find it right away. They can then avoid complications that may arise when administering first-aid.

Hand sanitizers to help keep pathogens

With Australia's outdoors being so immense, it can easily accommodate a lot of people. There's enough space for everyone to maintain proper social distance. However, it's still in your best interest to wear masks and to sanitise your hands while outside.

Fevermates offers custom-made facial masks as well as hand sanitisers. It also has stick-on thermometers and cooling patches that deserve a spot in your first kit.
