Why a Von Willebrand bleeding disorder alert card isn’t enough

If you ever find yourself in a medical emergency, it’s important that your doctors and care team are aware that you have Von Willebrand disease, especially since it can involve severe bleeding, which can be life-threatening. A common recommendation is to carry a medical alert card, but this can be easily lost, unlike a bracelet or necklace that you wear on your person. Plus, medical personnel might not know to look for a medical alert card, but they’re likely to notice your jewelry without being prompted to look for it.

What to engrave on a Von Willebrand disease bracelet

Your Von Willebrand disease bracelet or necklace should have important details on it such as your name and condition. You can spell it out, or put VWD, which is the medical abbreviation for Von Willebrand disease.

FAQs


Should I wear a medical alert bracelet for Von Willebrand disease?


Yes; it is always important for medical personnel to be aware of your condition, especially if you find yourself in a medical emergency. A medical alert bracelet is a great way to ensure they’re aware if you’re unable to communicate. It’s also easier to spot than a medical alert card, which they may not know to look for.

 

What is the medical Von Willebrand symbol?


There is no specific Von Willebrand medical symbol, but if you would like to include a symbol on your engraved medical bracelet or necklace, you can opt to use the bleeding disorder symbol.

 

Should I still carry an alert card if I wear a Von Willebrand disease medical bracelet?


If you already have an alert card, it wouldn’t hurt to still carry it with you to be on the extra-safe side. However, if it’s between the two, definitely opt for the more effective and reliable bracelet.
