Medical identification tag
A
medical identification tag
is a small
emblem
or tag worn on a
bracelet
,
neck chain
, or on the clothing bearing a message that the wearer has an important
medical condition
that might require immediate attention. The tag is often made out of
stainless steel
or
sterling silver
. The intention is to alert a
paramedic
, physician,
emergency department
personnel or other
first responders
(
emergency medical services
,
community first responder
,
Emergency medical responder
) of the condition even if the wearer is not conscious enough, old enough, or too injured to explain. A wallet
card
with the same information may be used instead of or along with a tag, and a stick-on medical ID tag may be added or used alone.
