7 Reasons EMTs Quietly Buy This Medical Bracelet For Their Own Parents On Blood Thinners

On a blood thinner, even a minor fall can turn serious. One Medicare study found 40% higher odds of a brain bleed in head-injury patients on warfarin.⁴

So the first thing responders need to know is:

Are you on a blood thinner?

The crew are strangers, and you may be confused or unconscious.

Your bracelet tells them what you can't. No passwords, no digging through your purse.

Phones can show medical info on the lock screen, but only if it's set up, charged and still working. A fall can crack the screen. The battery can die. Or the phone ends up in your bag or the car, out of reach.

And the alert card from your pharmacy? In a study of 22,624 patients on blood thinners, only 20% had it with them.⁷

95% of responders check the wrist.¹ No passcode, no battery, nothing to remember.

Hematologist Dr. Mark Crowther says a medical alert bracelet is “probably very useful” for older patients on several medications.⁸ Here's why it matters so much on a blood thinner.

Blood thinners slow down clotting. That protects you from dangerous clots, but it also means a bump to the head can keep bleeding inside the skull, where no one can see it.

You might feel fine at first. In older people on blood thinners, delayed brain bleeds usually show up within 48 hours, and sometimes later.³

That's why doctors tell people on blood thinners who fall or hit their head to call their doctor or 911, so they can check for bleeding in the brain.⁶ When responders know you're on a blood thinner, they know your head needs checking fast.

Most medical IDs look like hospital tags, so they end up in a drawer.

This one looks like a dainty bracelet you'd pick for yourself, in delicate silver or gold. The alert is engraved discreetly, so people notice a pretty bracelet, not a medical tag.
