Option for Sensitive Skin: Vinyl Medical ID Bracelets

Some long-term care residents require identification solutions that are especially comfortable for continuous wear. For these situations, Browels offers vinyl medical ID bracelets.

Vinyl bracelets are lightweight, flexible, and designed to be comfortable for residents with sensitive or fragile skin. They are commonly used in care environments where traditional metal bracelets may cause irritation.

These bracelets provide clear resident identification while remaining comfortable for extended use.


Optional Colour Indicators for Care Needs

Many care facilities use coloured indicator discs attached to stainless steel ID bracelets to quickly communicate special care requirements.

These small colour discs provide a simple visual reference for staff and may be used to indicate:

• Fall risk
• Allergies
• Special diet requirements
• DNR status
• Other facility-specific alerts

The colour system can be customized to match the identification procedures used by each facility.


Common LTC Identification Options

 • Stainless steel ID bracelets
• Vinyl medical ID bracelets for sensitive skin
• Colour indicator discs for care alerts


Straightforward Reordering as Residents Change

Once a bracelet format and information layout are approved, Browels retains those details to ensure consistency for future orders. Replacements and additions can be produced without re-establishing requirements each time.

Facilities can easily order bracelets for new residents, replacements, or updates while maintaining consistent identification standards.

• Approved formats retained for consistent identification
• Easy replacement for lost or damaged bracelets
• Simple ordering for new resident admissions
• Ongoing supply aligned with facility needs


Many facilities simply send engraving details by email when new residents are admitted.
