Medical alert bracelet

Does anyone know of a bracelet that has the alert symbol on the front, yet medical condition on the back? I don’t really want to pay more than £20 for one. All the cheaper ones have details for everyone to see on display as I go about my daily business, which I feel uncomfortable about.

Have you looked on amazon? I had a stretchy bracelet with the alert symbol and warfarin user written on it, or something like that, can't remember how much it cost. I also was specifically looking for one with warfarin.

I have this one, which is a higher price £35 but looks more like jewellery www.universalmedicalid.co.uk/prod_uk/lynx-shine-medical-id-bracelet-429

Thanks @Wildernesstips, that’s exactly the sort of thing I’m looking for. Why are they so pricey though!

I'm not sure but I've had mine nearly 5 years and it still looks good.

I don't know how big your wrists are but a lot of childrens' medical alert bracelets are as you describe ie with confidential info on the inside. They tend to be cheaper too!

You can get silicone ones like this, if you just google silicone engravable alert bracelets, I think mine cost about a tenner. I prefer silicone as you can just leave it on all the time and not worry.

Obviously that's an stock image example, and not actually my bracelet! I'm not John Smith Grin

I paid £80 for my medic alert bracelet. It's solid silver and looks nice. I deliberately spent the money for something I'd be happy to wear all the time, including for black tie dinner events etc.

It must be ten years old now and I've literally never taken it off.

If you need to wear one you need to wear it 24/7 which would stop me getting the silicone ones.

I've just looked and Medic Alert's basic stainless steel bracelet is only £20.
