Attractive Medical ID Bracelets (Medical Alert Bracelets)




Medical Alert Bracelets

Medical ID bracelets are recommended by physicians and health-conscious individuals for people who suffer from some kind of illness that a doctor needs to know before starting immediate treatment in the case of an emergency. Such medical conditions (including diseases and allergies) and any important information related to them are engraved briefly on medical ID bracelets. In case of an emergency, when the patient is not able to speak but needs immediate treatment, the engraved information on the bracelet helps his/her doctor decide what kind of treatment methods to follow and what to avoid.
People, who need to wear medical IDs, certainly want to do so in a way that looks attractive. That is why a variety of stylish designs have been created in medical ID bracelets for satisfying their individual choice. These bracelets are made of a variety of materials, mostly metals like gold, sterling silver, and stainless steel. Besides the more popular classic style bracelets, premier medical ID bracelets also come with charms on which the medical emblem is either embossed, i.e. raised, or fixed as a bright red emblem. These bracelets mostly come standard with a curb style chain. However, the customer may choose to get a chain of personal choice. Also, personal messages may be engraved on the charm.
Many jewelry fans, especially women users, who need to wear a medical ID, find the 14k Gold Figaro Medical Identification bracelets quite irresistible. Made of fine yellow gold, these bracelets consist of an alternate series of links chained together, meeting from both sides a central Emergency Alert Emblem. The customer is free to select his/her own style of engraving (that can be done online) varying from a single line script to monogram style engravings. Usually up to 20 characters can be engraved on a single bracelet. White gold medical ID bracelets are also liked by many admirers of Figaro Medical bracelets.
A class of affordable medical ID bracelets with a sleek and stylish look is that of brushed Titanium medical ID cuff bracelets. These bracelets are not only affordable in prices but also strong, durable, and lightweight. In addition, they are manufactured free of nickel and hence they qualify best for people who are allergic to nickel. The Medical Emergency Alert symbol is carved into the bracelet's front and is filled with red acrylic, fixing it tightly in its place.
The prices of ID bracelets vary widely depending mainly on the weight and purity of the metal used; the amount and quality of engraving done on the bracelet - and on the specific type of metal used in making the bracelet. Simple stainless steel or sterling silver bracelets can be bought for about $50 while 14k Gold Figaro Medical Identification bracelets usually cost over $500 to about $700
