The 10 Best Medical ID Bracelets

The Universal Medical Data Silicone (around $33) is durable and waterproof, so you can wear it while swimming, snorkeling or scuba diving. The large engraving plate holds a lot of information, and the price includes five lines of clear, custom text.

If you already wear a Fitbit, a Garmin, or a regular watch daily, you can have it serve double duty with the Road ID Sidekick (around $20). The laser-engraved faceplate comes in two widths, and has stretchy loops on either end to fit snugly on your existing wristband.

The Smarter Lifestyle Women's (appx. $35) allows you to choose from 13 simple stamped messages, such as "Blood Thinner" or "Pacemaker." It's made from surgical grade stainless steel for durability and comes in a larger size for men, too.

The elegant, yet simple, Vnox Bangle (about $10) is a great choice for those who want a dressy look for the office or just for special occasions. You have the option of adding up to three lines of text to the front and back of this piece.

Designed for devotees of all things Apple, the Road ID Tag (about $30) slips onto your smartwatch, so you don't have to wear something on both wrists. Its use can be limited if you change styles often, though, because this model only fits well on the silicone Sport band.

The Universal Medical Data Reversible Slim (appx. $37) is designed for active users with the added benefit that it can be worn with your sensitive information on the inside for privacy. The medical alert symbol is on both sides, so that emergency personnel can see it clearly.

The Mealguet Unisex Stretch (about $11) comes in a neutral black steel, and can be put on and taken off easily. You can choose complimentary engraving or a simple preprinted message, though you'll need to wait several weeks for the customized option.

The Vital ID Adjustable (around $19) is an easy way to keep your most updated medical information around your wrist. The waterproof card folds out to give you plenty of space to write all your details, and then tucks inside a discreet slot in the bracelet.

This 5-pack of Morin Store Wristbands is an inexpensive way to keep a forgetful child (or adult) with Type 1 diabetes covered. Youngsters will love the bright colors and, at just $2 a pop, you won't mind replacing them when they get lost.

The Divoti Filigree (about $35) sports a decorative design on the front and a place for four lines of information on the back to help keep your personal information private. The solid black font provides a good contrast to the brushed stainless steel finish.
