Wearing medical jewellery could save your life! If you are brought to hospital it can be an essential piece of jewellery for medics and medical personnel to aid in the treatment process. Medical ID pendants and other jewellery such as bracelets are easily identifiable to medics and give them a short resume of your medical history or any problems you may have that could lead to complications. They are a sensible option and may be a lifesaver.
Both the discs attached to bracelets and pendants have the universally recognised medical Caduceus symbol on one side and all your medical information engraved on the other side.
The information you decide to put on the other side of the bracelet disc or pendant is up to you. Most people would put their
medical condition, e.g. heart patient or diabetic. There may also be room to put their doctors name and number or perhaps someone to call in case of an emergency. The size of the disc or the pendant will be the only constraint to the amount of information that can be included.
Medical ID pendants are suitable for everyone, both adults and children and men and women. Manufacturers have seen a niche in the market and are now starting to create medical jewellery that is both stylish and attractive. Jewellery can be bought in gold, silver or stainless steel and can also be set with coloured stones or gemstones. Even the medical symbol is keeping up with fashion trends and can be displayed using rhinestones or decorative crystals. Most medical jewellery also comes with a manufacturer’s guarantee.
