Lymphoedema Medical ID
Do You Need A Bracelet or Medical ID For Lymphoedema?
If you have, or are at risk of lymphoedema, you will be taking daily precautions to help reduce your risk of developing or worsening the condition. One easy way to do this is by wearing a lymphoedema medical alert ID.
Your lymphoedema might be the result of another serious condition such as cancer – our lymphoedema range includes medical IDs that allow you to engrave up to 5 lines of text so you can cover all your conditions. Or you could choose to list additional information on a medical ID card.
A medical ID is the best way to communicate if you are on your own and unable to speak for yourself. Whatever you choose, wearing a lymphoedema medical ID alerts first responders to your condition, giving them an insight into your health, assisting them in diagnosis and ensuring that treatment is adjusted accordingly.
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 lymphoedema range of medical IDs 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, so they can speak for you when you can’t.
All prices include free engraving and free UK mainland delivery.
What Should You Put on a Lymphoedema Medical ID?
It is always best to consult with your doctor or specialist to decide what to engrave on your lymphoedema 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:
-
Your lymphoedema status/risk.
-
Resulting treatment restrictions.
-
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 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.
-
Avoid using general terms, e.g. “Allergies: bee stings, nuts” is much more useful than just “Allergies”.
