Medical Alert Necklaces - How Do You Choose?

 



Most people needing a medical alert necklace will head for the website of MedicAlert, where it sells what it describes as the "famous...Medical ID Alert bracelets and necklaces, to protect your health 24/7/365."

According to the organization:

MedicAlert has over 140 high quality emblems that include bracelets, necklaces, stretch bands, sports bands, dog tags and more.

To enable us to safeguard your health, it is essential that you wear a MedicAlert Emblem at all times. Instantly recognized by response personnel and law enforcement, your MedicAlert emblem informs rescuers to contact our 24-Hour Emergency Response Service and access your critical information.

Medic Alert offers a wide array of bracelets and necklaces to match your taste and lifestyle. Each Medic Alert Bracelet, Necklace, Stretch Band, Sports Band, and Dog Tag is engraved with your membership ID number, primary medical condition(s), and our 24-Hour Emergency Response Center phone number.


However, many online retailers also offer wide selections of medical alert necklaces. An example is Amazon.com, which has many simple but stylish products (picture above), either blank or engraved with the name of a specific condition.

Another company offering a range of items is Medic ID, which says:

So why don't more people wear medical ID's? In most cases, because they don't like the way they look. They are often unattractive and cheaply made. We offer you a beautifully designed and crafted bracelet or pendant of 14KT gold or silver....All links on the bracelets are soldered closed and a special finished background on each piece of jewelry allows the engraving to stand out clearly.
