Allergies and underlying medical conditions can strike at the most unusual times, and without warning. Luckily, Mediband can prevent you from being caught out with their range of medical ID bracelets.

60 year old Gil Sloan from Crowthorne, Berkshire, is allergic to wasps. One day, four years ago, Gil was playing in a golf competition when he was stung by a wasp, which resulted in him experiencing all the symptoms of a serious allergic reaction. He eventually lost consciousness and woke 15 minutes later to find he was being attended to by the local air ambulance, as none of the club staff had any idea what was wrong with him.

After this, Gil performed a Google search looking for medical alert bracelets but could only find gold plated bracelets, which he saw as tacky. Gil comments: Mediband ID bracelets are easy to wear, visible, very comfortable and quite trendy, for an old man! I have been stung since but, thanks to Mediband, everyone is aware of my condition now and knows to use my epipen if I fall ill.

Mediband is a leading medical ID device producer for a number of allergies, food intolerances, and health conditions like diabetes and asthma. If the patient is wearing a Mediband indicating their condition, vital time can be gained and suitable treatment can be administered quickly.

Wristbands are available in a range of colours, styles and sizes, as well as a wallet card which can be printed with all known medical conditions for the carrier.
