Blood Thinners - High Risk of Bleeding Medical Bracelet

Stay safe

Anticoagulants, or blood thinners, are commonly used to treat conditions involving blood clots such as strokes, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolisms. It is also prescribed as a preventative measure against possible occurences of blood clots after major surgery. However, decreasing blood's ability to form clots comes with a high risk of excessive bleeding. Alerting attending medical professionals to your current medications play a large role in their diagnosis and prescribed treatment. Bleeding risk caused by anticoagulants is especially important in the case of needing major surgery, as excessive bleeding increases the risk of surgery. Alerting your attending physician to your use of anticoagulants allows your physician and surgeon to take safe preventative measures to lessen this risk, and ensure your surgery is performed as safely as possible. 

Are you currently on a type of blood thinner medication? A patient's medical history is vital to the type of treatment received as well as the response time of medical professionals in the case of an emergency. Wearing a medical ID that states your current blood thinner medication alerts medical professionals to your most current medial history, and allows them to quickly identify the types of treatments suitable for you. This lowers the risk of a misdiagnosis or receiving the wrong treatment if no one is available to provide your patient history. 

Enjoy life more knowing that you - or your loved one - can get immediate and appropriate treatment should something happen.
