Universal Medical Id

Universal Medical ID Alert Bracelet

Every year, thousands of Australians find themselves in the emergency room receiving life-saving treatment. If the medical team are unable to access the medical history of the patient there could be delays in treatment. Don't let this be you or someone you care about. By wearing a Medical Universal Medical ID Alert Bracelet, doctors and nurses will have the vital information they need to treat you or your loved one. If you have any kind of medical condition, you should have some form of medical ID on you at all times. First responders instinctively look for medical ID when treating an unresponsive patient. Medical ID can give the paramedic important information about the patient like their name and current medications. This information can help to speed up treatment, which in an emergency could be lifesaving.
