We have listened to what these guys have been telling us and are now in the early stages of bringing a whole new wristband to the MEkey range.  It will replace our existing wrist band (which will be on offer soon).

One of the major issues to address was the adjustability of our existing wristbands.  This has now been achieved by basing our new wristbands on a Velcro® closure.

The MEkey Wristband v2 is based on a Velcro® web band, allowing for total adjustabiliy.

As with ALL MEkey ICE tags the paramedic star and ICE is highly visible.  The wristband eliminates the need for engraving, and allows for easy update of your information via the USB based PHR software.

The USB tag is highly visible and displays the paramedic star with the letters ICE (In Case of Emergency).  The tag fits into a pouch within the wrist strap and clips into place so should never come loose.  At only 37mm x 12mm x 4mm you soon forget you are wearing vital emergency ID.

Multi Use – The dimensions of the new MEKEY wrist band allow it to be worn as a watch strap.  So whenever you put your watch on you are carrying your vital emergency ID and contact information.

Strong and tough! – The new design is stronger and tougher than before to cope with the rigours of adventure sports and the demands of bikers, skiers, runners etc.

As with all MEkey USB ID devices there is a built in file management system that allows you to upload scanned images (passport, id card, driving licence, mot certificate, vehicle documents, full insurance information, any vital information, etc) and documents which can then be securely encrypted. For more information on the bespoke MEkey software select ‘Software’ from the menu above or click MEkey PHR Software

All MEkey Devices come with 2 FREE stickers.
Our extra ice labels are strong, long lasting and work great outdoors, making them perfect for further highlighting you are wearing a MEkey ICE ID device.

WRIST BAND SIZES:

MEDIUM: Teen / Small Adult – fits wrist circumference from 6″ (15cm) up to 7″ (18cm)

LARGE: Adult / Large Teen – fits wrist circumference 6.5″ (16.5cm) up to 8″ (20cm)

Work is well under way for the release of our latest MEkey ICE device, which is going to be a wood based dog tag with a soft leather lanyard.

After listening to some of our present dog tag users, we decided to create a dog tag that doesnt have the heat changes that the metal ones do.  The wooden based tags will also take on a personality of their own as they weather and the wood ages.

As with all our ICE tags, there will be no parts to loose as it will be a self contained unit and will have the paramedic star and ICE highly visible.

If you want to be kept up to date on availability register now at www.mekey-icetag.co.uk and once they are in stock you will receive a 10% off voucher!
