What to Write on a Medical Alert Bracelet

MediCarry medical alert bracelet engraving

Quick answer

MediCarry bracelets come as fixed designs that already show a condition, such as DIABETES or BLOOD THINNER, so there is nothing to write on the bracelet itself. If you want to record your own details, the Capsule Necklace holds a slip you fill in: lead with your main condition, then medications, allergies and an emergency contact.

MediCarry bracelets come as fixed designs that already show a condition, such as DIABETES or BLOOD THINNER, so there is nothing to write on the bracelet itself. If you want to record your own details, such as several medications, allergies and an emergency contact, our Capsule Necklace holds a small slip you fill in yourself. This guide covers what to include on that slip.

The quick version
  • Our bracelets are ready made designs. The condition is already shown and we do not offer custom engraving.
  • To record your own details, the Capsule Necklace holds a written slip you fill in.
  • On the slip, lead with your most important condition, then medications, allergies and an emergency contact.
  • Leave off anything not needed in an emergency. Ask your doctor what to prioritise.

Our bracelets come as they are

Each MediCarry bracelet shows a set condition on the front, for example DIABETES or BLOOD THINNER, with the universal medical alert symbol on the reverse. The wording is set into the metal, and we do not offer custom engraving, so you choose the design that matches your condition rather than writing your own text.

Want to record your own details? Use the Capsule Necklace

If you would like to carry more than a single condition, our Capsule Necklace unscrews to hold a small slip of paper you write yourself and can update over time. Here is what people commonly include.

What to put on the slip

  • Your most important condition first.
  • Key medications, for example a blood thinner.
  • Serious allergies.
  • Your name and an emergency contact (ICE, meaning in case of emergency, plus a number).

What to leave off

Avoid details that will not help in an emergency, such as a full home address or ID numbers. Keep it short and clear so the important information stands out.
