If something were to happen and an EMT were called to a scene of an accident, the MediBand helps first responders identify any medical condition they need to be aware of making this the ideal accessory for the summer.

Medical ID Marketplace is the exclusive seller of the MediBand in the US which gives parents and children with medical conditions a sense of ease at the beach, by the pool, or just lounging around a lake. With a specific waterproof feature, the MediBand allows adults to write a medical condition or contact information with a pen, and then boil the bracelet to ensure permanent marking.

Today, Medical ID Marketplace has partnered with Ronald McDonald House Charities and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, The Make A Wish Foundation as well as others. Other corporate customers and partners current and past include The Coca-Cola Corporation, The McDonald's Corporation, The Hershey Foods Corporation and Blue Cross Blue Shield Association.

There products can be found across the United States in doctors' offices, pharmacies,
super markets, jewelry stores, specialty stores, as well as online. A partial list of retailersinclude: Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Albertsons, Stop-N-Shop, Giant, Bashas, Bi-Lo, Kerr Drug, A&P, Medicine Chest, Brookshire, Amazon, Target, Martin’s, Family Pharmacy, Focus Pharmacy and Price Chopper.
