With
school holidays, summer fun and lots of ways to keep the kids amused just around
the corner, comes the risk of children wandering off by mistake or getting caught
up in the summer fun and finding themselves disorientated or lost. Mediband, producers
of Australia's unique range of silicone medical alert bracelets have the solution.
Mediband offers Mums and Dads the peace of mind of having a customised silicone
bracelet made - complete with their contact details - which kids can wear at all
times, or just when they're out and about.
Mediband's custom
designed bands can be tailored to record parent or emergency telephone numbers
and can be used in countless instances - for people with medical conditions, physical
or mental disabilities, as well as for young children with a wandering tendency,
or to ensure the safety of children when they're in an unfamiliar environment.
One Victorian based mother, Jane, now has a number of customised
Mediband bracelets on hand, which she had made for her 5 year old son to wear.
Her son, who has Downs Syndrome, wandered off one day and as he can't speak, he
was not able to communicate who he was or from where he had come.
While
he is able to sign a limited amount of Auslan (Australian Sign Language), his
distress at being lost meant he was unable to help police find his home. However,
now his parents make sure he wears his Mediband - which has their contact details
- at all times.
"When I explained to my neighbour why
the police were at our house, she told me about Mediband and I got online and
ordered some straight away," Jane explained. "As most people don't understand
sign language, it can be really difficult for some children with disabilities
to communicate in other ways."
With a little help from
Mediband ID Bracelets this barrier can be bridged.
"The
fact that Medibands are made from silicone means that Zac doesn't complain about
wearing it because it's comfortable and warms to his body temperature. It's also
durable, so he can wear it in the bath, at the beach or running around in the
backyard. We just feel so comforted that Zac is so much safer with his Mediband
on his wrist," she added.
The wider Mediband range of
silicone wristbands have been specifically designed to enable people with allergies
or medical conditions to ensure that vital information about their health is readily
accessible, should they ever need emergency treatment. This way, paramedics, emergency
workers, medical professionals and family, friends and colleagues, will have access
to the information that could help to save their life.
Mediband's
range of medical ID 'alert' products are extensive however, the standout feature
of the Mediband range is the customisability of the bracelets. You can tailor
your own bracelet to your own needs - be they medical or other. With Mediband
you're 'safe' - wherever you are!
