About Universal Medical ID (http://www.UniversalMedicalID.com)
Universal Medical ID was established to serve medical communities and people around the world by offering quality medical IDs that allow medical professionals to give prompt, precise treatment during an emergency. Universal Medical ID has developed out of the success and good reputation of American Medical ID, a for-profit US corporation in business since 1994. Doctors, consultants, pharmacists and hospitals refer their patients to us whenever a medical ID tag is appropriate. Our business has depended on referrals from these healthcare professionals, whose primary interest is the welfare of patients. We must maintain the highest production and service standards in order to retain their trust. While our medical ID bracelets, necklaces and medallions are among the most affordable on the market, we have gone to great lengths to offer quality medical alert jewelry that can be worn with confidence. For our engraving surfaces, we use high quality metals including solid high-grade stainless steel, sterling silver, 10k gold-filled and 10k and 14k gold and titanium.
