Lymphedema Alert "NO NEEDLES OR BP THIS ARM" Silicone Bracelet Wristbands

Over the past 3 years, I've had 8 surgeries in my cancer journey. Having had lymph nodes removed from under my left arm makes me vulnerable to lymphoedema. That means I shouldn't have my blood drawn or blood pressure taken from my left arm. So, I purchased these to wear whenever I leave the house, just in case. As such, it was a natural thing for me to wear it to the hospital for my surgeries. Every single time, a nurse or anesthesiologist or surgeon or someone mentions how much they like that I wear this band! They also have their own processes that they have to follow (temporary tattoos, etc.) but still made a point to comment on this being a smart thing to wear. If you have any vulnerability that medical professionals will need to know if you're unconscious and cannot tell them yourself, consider getting this and wearing it whenever you go out. The silicone construction means it won't interfere with X-rays or MRI operations, and it's just a smart and inexpensive thing to have and use.

These are exactly as described. I find them more noticeable than the more dainty stainless steel limb alert bracelet that I also have. I have not had issues with the color rubbing off but I haven’t had them very long. One bonus: they make the greatest cat toys lol. My cat won’t stop stealing them out of my jewelry box to play with them.

Nice to have on wrist. Someone suggested it to me.

It is easy to forget that you have an 'at risk' limb when you are a surviver for 5+ years. Doctors offices are fast paced and before a person could think to mention their history of breast cancer years ago a cuff can be on the arm inflating or a blood sugar could be drawn. My hospital provides a version of these to each patient undergoing care, but I also prefer to keep a bunch in my office and at home for the people I know who might not understand the value of protecting the arm from lymphedema. These specific bands are well built, fits of most non-edematous wrists that I see and look inconspicuous. Great produce and worth having a few on hand if you work with an 'at risk' population.

I became part of the cancer club this year and am already struggling with issues with my arm. I decided to buy this to wear to alert medical staff if I’m unable to speak or things are moving too fast and it would be forgotten. I have a lot of tactile issues and have trouble wearing jewelry and watches. I tried wearing it when I first got it and wound up taking it off. However, I tried it again a few days later, and it’s so comfortable and soft that I keep forgetting I’m wearing it. The size is good. As with wearing anything on the affected arm, you do have to make sure it’s loose enough and doesn’t slip down and constrict the arm. If you have a fistula or breast cancer history, I do recommend these bracelets. The only complaint I have involves the colors. I hate pink. I just hate hate hate pink and I hate that activists have hijacked pink to symbolize breast cancer. I think that’s what’s going on here and why there are two iterations of pink and white. The grey one is basically useless because it’s so hard to read, and black is just kind of gloomy. I would’ve liked better and more choices of color because it really is a very nice bracelet.

As a breast cancer survivor who needs to wear this medical alert type of bracelet, I LOVE the girly colors and the comfortable, easy fitting. I wear these 24/7 without any problems. Also, they are eye-catching (that's the idea!) and so I am able to share my story and have a good measure of protection against any procedures which could harm me. 💗💗💗

Great product

I like the choice of color combinations, but I almost always wear the white band with pink lettering. It's comfortable enough to wear 24/7. It gives me peace of mind should I have a medical emergency and not be able to tell first responders to avoid using my right arm for IVs, blood pressure, or injections.

Great value for money as you get 4 bracelets
