The sizes listed on their site for beaclets didn't fit me very well.
I opted for a SS necklace. I think anti-coags need something. The scare doesn't tell it all.
Thanks for the reminder.

Do you think it is needed if you are not on blood thinner? I have two Edwards bioprosthetic valves, but only have my Edwards ID card in my wallet.
Would having a med alert bracelet be needed in my case?
(I should ask, is it beneficial in any way)

Hi Mike,
I have a porcine valve so also have no particular reason to wear a bracelet. I keep the card in the wallet and feel that is sufficient.
I do however have this bracelet:

I wear this whenever my wallet is not on me, for example I mountain bike by myself on weekdays. Although I am careful (you still need to catch air once in a while) there is a chance of injury. I also wear it when I go on group rides (they don't know I upgraded my OEM valve with an aftermarket) just in case. Oh, I am also allergic to morphine, found that out after my surgery, so I have that written on it also.
