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 Epilepsy wear a Medical ID?

Should my child with Epilepsy wear a Medical ID?

Posted by Lori Torman on 20th Feb 2026

Yes, medical experts and organizations like the Epilepsy Foundation strongly recommend that children with epilepsy wear a medical ID. It serves as a vital safety net when they are unable to speak for themselves during or after a seizure. 

Why It Is Important

  • Emergency Communication: It alerts bystanders, teachers, and first responders to the child's condition immediately, even if they are unconscious or confused.
  • Accurate Treatment: First responders look for medical IDs to determine if a seizure is epileptic or caused by another emergency (like a head injury or diabetes), which prevents misdiagnosis and dangerous drug interactions.
  • Avoids Unnecessary ER Visits: If bystanders know the child has epilepsy, and the seizure is brief (under 5 minutes), they may follow your pre-set instructions instead of immediately calling an ambulance.
  • Peace of Mind: It provides security for parents when the child is at school, on field trips, or playing with friends. 

What to Engrave on the Medical ID

Experts suggest engraving the following critical details: 

  1. Full Name
  2. Diagnosis: "Epilepsy" or "Seizure Disorder."
  3. Current Medications: Especially any anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) or rescue medications.
  4. Emergency Contact (ICE): Parent or guardian's phone number.
  5. Specific Instructions: For example, "Call 911 if seizure > 5 min" or "Rescue meds in backpack".
