Medical Bracelets at Walgreens

Medical bracelets serve a specific purpose. When you wear a medical bracelet, emergency personnel can easily see that you have a medical problem. This knowledge can help them choose the appropriate treatment and get treatment started faster. Medical bracelets can even save lives. Wearing a medical bracelet is important if you have certain medical conditions or a drug allergy. Wearing one makes it less likely you'll receive a medication you're allergic to in an emergency.

Who Can Benefit from Wearing a Medical Bracelet?

Doctors usually recommend people with diabetes wear a medical bracelet. Should a diabetic pass out from a low blood sugar level or insulin shock, emergency personnel would quickly know to give them glucose. If you have a history of seizures, mental illness, heart problems, kidney disease, sickle cell anemia, a rare disease, dementia, drug or food allergies, are taking a blood thinner or have problems seeing or hearing, wearing a medical bracelet gives you added protection and security. In an emergency, personnel are trained to look for medical bracelets.

Types of Medical Bracelets

Classic stainless steel bracelets have a curved steel I.D. plate that can be engraved with your medical information. The I.D. plate is attached to a chain and has a sturdy claw clasp. The clasp is secure and won't come undone even when you wear it 24 hours a day. Plus, the stainless steel won't change colors or tarnish. These bracelets can be adjusted to fit your wrist size.

If you prefer a softer, lighter material against your wrist, thin rubber medical bracelets are durable and well made.

These bracelets come in several colors including black and hot pink. They can be adjusted to fit most wrist sizes including a child's tiny wrist. Because these bracelets are rubber, they're easy to clean. That's important if you wear your medical bracelet every day, as you should.
