Write-On Medical ID Bracelets - Personalise Your Own Alert Band
Write-on medical ID bracelets from Mediband give you complete flexibility over your own medical information. Each band has a dedicated white write-on strip - hand-write your details with a permanent marker, set it in hot water, and rewrite a fresh band whenever they change. No engraving and no production wait, so a write-on Mediband is the fastest, most affordable way to put a child's name and emergency contact, your ICE (in case of emergency) details, or any condition on the wrist. Reversible designs, waterproof, and designed in Australia. From $4.18 - among the most affordable medical IDs on the market.
Bonus MedibandPlus membership included. Every write-on Mediband comes with a bonus MedibandPlus membership - a voluntary online profile that stores your medical details (conditions, medications, allergies and who to call) and lets first responders access them through the membership number on your band. You stay in control of what it holds.
Kids ID bracelets you can update as they grow
A write-on band is ideal for children: hand-write their name, your contact number and any allergy or condition, then rewrite it as details change - new school, new carer, a new diagnosis. Reversible designer fronts keep kids happy to wear them, while the write-on strip carries what teachers, carers and first responders need.
ICE and emergency contact bands - write your details in
"ICE" stands for in case of emergency. Our ICE reversible write-on band lets you write the contact you want responders to call, plus any critical detail, and change it whenever your situation changes - travel, a new carer, a temporary condition.

How to write on and set your band

- Submerge the band in boiled water for 30 seconds to set the ink.
- Once set, the strip cannot be rewritten - start a fresh band to update.
