EVERY ID IS A HEART STENT MEDICAL ID

Custom engraving means every ID works for you!
Choose the style you prefer, and we will engrave it with your heart stent information, treatment considerations, and other pertinent details.

The heart stent was introduced for treatment of coronary artery disease in 1986, and it has been used in the US since 1994. These expandable tubes are inserted into weak or narrow arteries in patients suffering from coronary heart disease.

Heart stents, sometimes called cardiac stents or coronary stents, are typically made of metal mesh and are inserted during angioplasty or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). There are risks involved with heart stents, however, including a significant risk of a blood clot forming in the stent, causing the artery to narrow again or block entirely.

A HEART STENT MEDICAL ID COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE

Having a heart stent means that you have serious heart disease, and that is something that emergency medical personnel need to know immediately. If you are unable to advocate for yourself, your medical ID necklace or bracelet can impart that information for you. Additionally, heart stents carry a significant risk of blood clots, which can cause the artery to narrow back down or become blocked entirely. If this happens, those treating you will be better able to diagnose and assist you at a time when seconds count. Lastly, people with heart stents typically work to prevent blood clots by taking blood-thinning medications. Although these medicines are essential, they also decrease your body’s ability to clot your blood if you are injured, which is extremely dangerous in the event of a major accident. EMTs will need to know that you are on blood thinners immediately so they can pay careful attention to any potential blood loss.

If you or someone you love has a heart stent, medical ID jewelry is a true necessity. We recommend listing your name, diagnosis(es), any medications, all allergies, and emergency contact numbers.

Here are some examples of what to engrave on heart stent medical ID jewelry:

It is important to engrave the pertinent information that would be helpful to an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) or other first responder in the event that you are unable to communicate for yourself.

We recommend you engrave:
Your First and Last Name
Medical Condition(s)
Treatment Considerations
Food and Drug Allergies
Emergency Contact Number with area code

When listing a medication, be sure to indicate whether you are taking this medication or are allergic to it. EG: ON STEROIDS vs STEROID ALLERGY
ICE is recognized as an abbreviation for “In Case of Emergency” and is commonly listed before your emergency phone number instead of a name.

It’s important to note that every custom-engravable medical ID is just that: custom engravable. That means the same Lauren’s Hope medical ID will work whether you need a medical ID for diabetes, lymphedema, gastric bypass, or any other condition.

95% of first responders report they check the neck and both wrists of unresponsive patients, so despite the type of medical ID you choose, in an emergency, your medical ID may advocate for you.

Interchangeable medical ID bracelets: When you opt for an interchangeable medical ID, you’re purchasing a bracelet strand with lobster clasps at both ends and a removable medical ID tag. You can purchase multiple strands and continue using the same medical ID tag. If any of your personal information changes, you can simply replace the custom-engraved medical ID tag.

Traditional medical ID bracelets: Non-interchangeable or traditional medical IDs have affixed medical ID tags for an all-in-one solution.

Medical ID Cuffs: Cuffs are extremely easy to wear. Pull gently to open, put it on, and squeeze tighter for just the right fit every time. Cuffs are an excellent option for people who experience swelling of the extremities, those with dexterity challenges, and those who have had bariatric surgery and are looking for the ultimate in adjustability.

Medical ID necklaces and custom-engravable dog tags: Sometimes, people simply prefer medical ID necklaces to bracelets. Other times, people choose necklaces because they cannot wear bracelets in the workplace.

Over 60 million Americans have a medical condition which should be immediately known by first responders in the event of an emergency. EMT and first responders are trained to look for a medical alert. Medical identification alerts first responders to your vital medical information as well as your name and emergency contact information. With proper medical identification, a first responder may be made aware of your condition, providing the information that may assist them in treating you properly.

If you are a caregiver, then you should also wear a medical ID to alert emergency personnel of your loved one who needs attention. Let your medical identification jewelry speak for you when you can't.
