Complications can arise after surgery and accidents can happen. When first responders or EMTs arrive, you want them to perform their lifesaving work to the best of their ability. A mastectomy alert bracelet lets them know of any underlying medical conditions you may have, such as your elevated risk of lymphedema, as well as making them aware of your recent mastectomy.
Alert Medical Professionals to Your Lymphedema Risk
Lymphedema can pose a significant risk to women who have recently undergone a mastectomy. As your doctor may have made you aware, lymphedema is an obstruction in the lymphatic system that causes fluid to build up in the tissues and causes swelling, pain, and discomfort. There is no cure, and women who have undergone breast cancer surgery are at a greater risk of developing the condition.
In the unlikely event you need medical assistance but are unable to talk to the EMTs, a mastectomy alert bracelet gives them your medical information. These bracelets let them know they need to refrain from putting IVs, drips or any other needles close to surgical sites to prevent additional trauma to the area and reduce the risk of lymphedema.
