Medical Alert Bracelets

Silicone medical alert bracelets are ultra-comfortable for all-day wear and more affordable than metal medical bracelets. Keep the safety of yourself and your loved ones top-of-mind with emergency contact information that will be there when it's needed most.

Medical ID Wristbands

medical-id-wristbands.png

If you or a loved one have a medical condition, engrave the condition and treatment info onto a wristband to ensure you'll receive the proper care in an emergency situation.

Medical ID bracelets are especially helpful for kids to make sure their teachers and other faculty members know what to do should a medical emergency arise.

Silicone medical alert bands are also a great option for adults, particularly the elderly.

If you or your loved one are ever in an accident and fall unconscious, you can rest assured knowing that the people or medical personnel around you will know how to best address the issue and take great care of you.

Allergy Bracelets

Another common use for medical ID wristbands is as an allergy alert bracelet.

Food allergies, medication allergies, latex allergies, environment allergies (like pollen or insects), or any other type of allergy can be added to your customized allergy band.

If you're not sure what to engrave on your medical ID, or what bracelet styles are most often used for medical alert products, check out our medical ID bracelet guide.

Vaccination Bracelets

Custom vaccination bracelets are another popular choice for medical alert bracelet phrases. We've seen various 'Covid-19 Vaccinated' wristbands or immune-system compromised identification bracelets.

We've also seen bands identifying that the wearer is not immunized against coronavirus. Either way, this information makes it easy for healthcare workers to quickly identify your current vaccination status and how that will affect the treatment you're given.

If you're running a vaccination clinic or work at a doctor's office, it may be a good idea to order vaccination wristbands in bulk to hand out as people receive their immunizations.

ICE Wristbands (In Case of Emergency)

ICE Wristbands, or in-case-of-emergency bracelets, are great for all ages. For younger kids who don't know their emergency contact info, a wristband can provide peace of mind for parents or other caregivers.

For adults who are often alone, an emergency contact wristband will make it easy to identify you as well as contact your loved ones if anything happens while you're out and about.

We have free clipart options available to make your medical band as informative as possible. Choose a medical alert symbol like the star of life or caduceus, or even a phone icon before listing your emergency contact.

Travel Bracelets

If you spend a lot of time traveling, emergency contact bracelets are a great addition to your travel bag essentials.

Whether you travel alone or with others, you can feel a bit calmer knowing the right people will be notified during an emergency.

If you travel with young kids, you can customize an ICE wristband for each of them. If one of them gets separated from you, they'll have your phone number on their wrist so it'll be easier for someone to contact you and help fix the situation.

Religious Wristbands

Religious or faith-based wristbands are another popular choice for custom silicone wristbands. They have multiple uses, so we've listed out a few of the top ways to use religious wristbands to make it easy!

Personal Reminders

Scripture wristbands or religious phrases make great personal reminders for daily wear.

Our WWJD wristband, or 'What Would Jesus Do?', is one of the most popular religious wristband phrases.

Choose a favorite phrase for your wristband that will help you stay motivated to keep moving forward and becoming the best version of yourself with God's help.

One of the most frequently ordered acronyms is "WWMD". Whether the 'M' represents 'Mom', 'Meredith', or some other name, each acronym has its own meaning.
