Support grows for Mediband

Medical ID bracelets are not a new invention, but one brand is gaining approval from medical professionals around the world. Mediband, which manufactures silicone wrist bands for adults and children who have potentially fatal health conditions such as diabetes, epilepsy, asthma and food and drug allergies now offers an affiliated service, MedibandPlus, which is gaining support from international health professionals in the UK and USA.

Sydney, Australia-based businessman and founder Michael Randall said Mediband offers wearers the opportunity to register their name, contact details, and medical history online, enabling paramedics and medical staff direct access to critical health information about the patient. The additional MedibandPlus support system activates should a person’s condition be triggered or if they became unconscious. 

“The wearer’s condition and medical history can be registered on a secure database that can be accessed anywhere in the world, at any time. We also provide a wallet card with the details printed with the web address,” Randall said.

“This can give travellers, especially retirees and families with young children peace of mind.” 

The brightly coloured silicone bands cater for over 20 medical conditions, with varying combinations, and the company recently released a patent pending Mediband which enables the wearer to write their condition(s), as well as emergency contact details on it with an indelible pen. 

More than 230,000 people including the elderly and children are now wearing Mediband wristbands in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States.
