How to measure your wrist for a Medical ID Bracelet

Typically length of the medical ID bracelet is a full length from end to end, when bracelet is open and lays down. Our medical ID bracelets length is measured as circumference of the wrist bone plus a half of an inch (1/2") to ensure comfortable wear. We suggest couple ways how to measure length to make proper order.

Method 1:    To determine medical ID bracelet size, measure the wrist with a flexible tape measure just below the wrist bone, where you would place your Medical ID Bracelet. Take a true wrist measurement - not too tight or too loose. Now add to this amount 1/2"-inch. This is approximate sizing.

Method 2:    Another better way to measure would be to choose a bracelet that fits the way you like it, with a toggle or clasp end, or your own watch. Lay it out straight and measure the total length of the bracelet from tip of clasp to tip of connecting hook, this should be approx to the size you would order.

You could also cut a string and fit it around the wrist allowing the string to fit like you would want the bracelet to fit, then measure the string


Submit that measurement on your order.

Regardless of the method you use

Please note: We DO NOT ADD to the measurement you submit to us with your order.

This submitted measurement will be the total length of your bracelet, including BRACELET TAG, BRACELET CHAIN, from tip of clasp to tip of connecting ring

We make the total length as close to the order size as possible. (size of chain links , clasp etc.)
Please re-check your wrist measurement to prevent an error and future charges!
