About us

StickyJ Medical ID and sister company Thoughtful Impressions have been family owned and operated for more than 21 years. The company is led by CEO Lori Torman, who has an eye for great quality and classic styles. In the early days of medical id bracelets (we're talking 1960's), medical alert bracelets were pretty boring -- basically engraved metal tags with curb link chains. The same styles were offered for children, just smaller (no wonder kids didn't want to wear them). And, by the end of the 20th century things hadn't improved that much. Lori was among the first to recognize that medical id's could be fashion conscious, and in 2005 launched designs in leather as well as stainless, and introduced polyester kids medical id bracelets that had cute designs. The sport strap line of child medical id's she introduced nearly 20 years ago is still the most popular line of children's medical jewelry on the market today. And, we now produce more than 100 different styles of medical alert bracelets and necklaces for men and women. Our engraved bracelets are individually custom engraved by our team of master engravers, ship within three (M-F) business days from the date you order, and all products come with a 90 warranty against manufacturing defects. Please come and shop with us today. It will be our pleasure to serve you.

Should my child with Asthma wear a Medical ID?

Should my child with Asthma wear a Medical ID?

Posted by Lori Torman on 20th Feb 2026

Yes, medical professionals and major health organizations, such as the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), strongly recommend that children with asthma wear a medical ID. 

Since asthma is an "invisible" condition, a medical ID is often the only way for first responders to quickly identify the cause of respiratory distress when a child is unable to speak. 

Key Benefits of a Medical ID

  • Emergency Communication: During a severe attack, your child may not be able to articulate their condition; a medical ID speaks for them when they can't.
  • Prevents Misdiagnosis: It helps emergency responders differentiate an asthma attack from other conditions, like a heart issue or allergic reaction, ensuring the correct treatment is started immediately.
  • Locates Rescue Medication: Custom engraved id's can tell bystanders where to find life-saving tools (e.g., "Inhaler in backpack").
  • Informed Care: 95% of emergency responders check for medical IDs on the wrist or neck during an emergency. 

What to Include on the ID

  • Diagnosis: Clearly state "Asthma" and the specific type if known (e.g., "Exercise-induced").
  • Rescue Meds: Mention that the child uses an inhaler or carries an EpiPen if they also have severe allergies.
  • Triggers: List significant triggers like "Peanut Allergy" or "Latex Allergy".
  • Emergency Contacts: Include a parent’s phone number (ICE - In Case of Emergency). 

Choosing the Right Medical ID for Your Child

  • Active Kids: Silicone bracelets are popular for sports because they are waterproof and durable.
  • Young Children: For infants or toddlers who might find jewelry a choking hazard, consider shoe tags.
  • Style Preference: Let your child help pick the color or design to make them more likely to wear it consistently.  Medical Jewelry companies such as StickyJ Medical ID offer fun designs featuring Minecraft characters, Clifford, Daniel Tiger, and many more, made of silicone or fabric.

Always seek the advice of your doctor on what to engrave on your child's medical id.
