Blood Thinner Medical ID

Blood Thinner Medical ID 

Blood thinner medication helps to prevent blood clots, although they don’t actually thin the blood. Blood thinners are prescribed for those at a high risk of getting clots, to reduce their chances of developing a serious condition such as a stroke or heart attack.

The most common risk associated with blood thinners is excessive bleeding, both externally and internally, therefore any type of trauma is dangerous if you’re taking a form of blood thinner. Other risks include dizziness, fatigue and complications from interactions with other drugs.

Whatever your condition, it is a good idea to wear a blood thinner medical ID alert to give you and those around you peace of mind that, in the event of an emergency, first responders will have a rapid insight into your condition which can inform their diagnosis and your treatment. Your medical ID alert speaks for you when you can’t.

There are lots of medical IDs to choose from so you can select the style that best suits you and your lifestyle, with choices from casual to more stylish designs. To help you choose, we’ve curated a blood thinners range where you'll find ID cards, wristbands, necklaces and medical alert bracelets as well as handy medicine bags. Our bracelets and necklaces feature the well-known medical alert symbol and can be engraved with your details.

Our blood thinners range includes medical IDs that allow you to engrave up to 5 lines of text so you can cover multiple conditions, or you could choose to list additional information on a medical ID card.

All prices include free engraving and free UK mainland delivery.

What Should You Put on a Blood Thinner Medical ID? 

It is always best to consult with your doctor or specialist to decide what to engrave on your blood thinner medical ID. In the event that this is not possible, we have taken advice from the lovely doctors at Concierge Medical (the multi award-winning private GP service for the Cotswolds and surrounding areas) and recommend the following:

As a minimum, you should put the following on your medical ID:

• Specific name of the blood thinner, e.g. warfarin
• Primary medical condition, e.g. atrial fibrillation.
• Your primary ICE (in case of emergency) number.

You may also want to include the following:

• Your name.
• Any other severe medical conditions (including allergies).
• Any other medications you may be on.
• “See medical card” (if you choose to carry a medical ID card in your phone case or wallet).

If you choose a medical ID bracelet that can be engraved on both the front and the back, we recommend that you engrave your medical information on the front and your personal information (name and ICE) on the back.

General advice on engraving:

• Information should relate to conditions not otherwise discoverable by examination of an unconscious or incapacitated patient.
• Important medications should be listed.
• Information should be relevant to life-saving or emergency treatment.

Blood Thinner Wristbands

Soft, silicone wristbands are a popular choice for a blood thinner medical ID as they’re comfortable and convenient to wear throughout the day and evening, indoors and out. We have many different colours you can choose from with inside engraving or outside engraving and we also offer smaller wristbands for children. Our Velcro and Silicone ranges are great if you like to stay active.

Blood Thinner Bracelets

We also have a huge range of bracelets to choose from: from everyday wear to special occasions. Our pure links titanium bracelet is an elegant choice. Our modern medical bracelets with clasp  are very popular with six colours to choose from and plenty of room for your engraving.

As well as our bracelets, we also offer watch style SOS Talismans that allow the wearer to write their details onto an information strip and store inside the SOS capsule, great for individuals whose details or medications might change frequently.

Blood Thinner Necklaces

If you would prefer to wear a necklace our blood thinner dog tags offer a subtle and stylish way to display important data. Choose from brushed steel or coloured designs created for men and women.

Our SOS Talisman and Infomedic necklaces are also a convenient way of keeping details of your condition with you at all times. Keep your data safely tucked away inside the unique pendant.

Kids

It’s not always easy to persuade little ones to wear medical IDs so we have a great range of medical IDs for children: from colourful silicone bands to fabric wristbands and necklaces. Many of our engravable medical ID bracelets are also available in a variety of sizes from 5 inches (12.7cm) to suit even young children.

Blood Thinner Medicine bags and ID Cards

If you regularly carry medication, our medicine bags and carry cases are perfect for keeping your medication safe. They're also great for traveling and when you go on holiday.

As well as your blood thinner alert jewellery, it's also a good idea to have a medical ID card for your wallet or phone. This allows you to carry more detailed information with you, such as your address and NHS number. If you purchase one of our ID cards alongside a necklace or bracelet, we normally advise having 'see medical card' engraved on your chosen piece of jewellery.
