Surgical Stainless Steel Medical ID Plaque with ALLERGIES pre-engraved on the front. Fits on any of our interchangeable MEDI KIDS STRAP or MEDI FAUX LEATHER STRAP. Plaque sold separately. Made of 316L Surgical Stainless Steel. Most medical bracelets on the internet are usually 304 Stainless. Although both are hypoallergenic 316L is non-corrosive. It is also known as "marine grade" stainless steel due to its increased resistance to chloride corrosion compared to type 304.

Note: This plaque is recommended for Active Children, since the plaque can absorb lots of punishment and scratching, and still be very readable. Additional engraving of the child's exact medical condition is available on the back side where it will be protected by the strap, and can't be scratched. Four lines of information can be engraved on the reverse. Suitable for adults and children suffering from medical conditions (diabetes, epilepsy, autism) and allergies (penicillin, peanut allergy, allergic to nuts etc).

The lasered engraving we use provides a highly legible, black lettering.

According to National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease and American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology allergy reactions start and proceed quickly even though fatalities are rare. They say that in severe cases epinephrine (such as adrenaline) must be used to keep sufferers from going into anaphylactic shock. When given in time it could reverse the condition by increasing heart rate, squeezing the blood vessels, relaxing lung muscles and halting swelling in the throat and face. Once the drug is given the patient must immediately follow-up at a hospital.
