Really well made,
how do you manage to get the really fine thread on the cover? On
being diagnosed with ME, which was followed by numerous other
things, I felt some sort of ID with information was needed.
Alex M Smith, Tayport
Very durable. Have multiple health problem and this was a way to
list all of them instead of having lot of tags hanging from neck or
having them look for a card. P. Towner,
Susquehanna, PA, USA
Very good.
SOS TALISMAN
SOS S/S PEND SNAKE/STAFF, ST21. I purchased this product on the
advice of the Department of Health, following surgery to remove my
spleen. When wearing it, I feel safer in the knowledge that the
relevant people will be immediately made aware of my medical
situation, should I not be able to impart this information myself.
This, I find very reassuring.
M. Cornell, Herne Bay
I have a
rare form of Haemophilia. My Doctor advise me to purchase one, due to
the distance i'm having to drive to and from work.
E. Dunne, Farnborough
The watch talisman is extremely well made and it fits snugly around
my wrist, I am pleased with the quality, it looks just like a real
piece of jewellery. I had a blood clot last year and I am now on
warfarin for the rest of my life. By wearing my watch type
SOS Talisman
I feel safe in the knowledge that all my details are instantly
available should I need them. Irene
Rogers, Peacehaven
Excellent - plenty of extras. I bought my
SOS Talisman pendant
after having an aortic valve replacement and aortic dissection. I am
now on warfarin tablets. When I wear the product I feel more
confident knowing my details are around my neck.
D Costello, Manchester
Excellent engineering quality and great appearance. Easy to use,
easy to wear, and I really like the pin and car sticker as an
adjunct to wearing the talisman. I bought the stainless steel
necklace (it's actually the 3rd one I have bought) (ST21).
I bought one for my daughter, who is asthmatic, and one for myself
following a life-threatening illness. My most recent purchase is for
my husband who recently had a very serious heart attack. This is a
solid piece of craftsmanship and I have confidence that the
information is securely protected, including against moisture of any
kind, but is also very available if it should be needed by a medical
professional in case of emergency. Alison
Carmichael, Trabuco Canyon, USA
I thought the quality was excellent and I
bought six
SOS Talismans.
I brought my own SOS because I have epilepsy, and have to take
specialist medication. Now I feel very secure in the knowledge that
the professional will know what my medication is and when I have to
take it. Sadie White, Malaga, Spain
I am delighted with it. I'm amazed how all that vital health and
contact information can be stored inside the silver capsule of the
silver SOS Talisman pendant
I bought. I looked at other Medical pendants & bracelets, but they
either only allowed for a small engraving which didn't provide
enough information, or required the emergency medical staff to ring
a number to find out the essential details, which wouldn't be
practical in an area with no access to a phone... The silver pendant
has the caduceus on one side (internationally recognised by medics)
and SOS on the other, so I'd feel confident about going abroad
wearing this one. I have allergies to food, drugs and preservatives.
After a more severe reaction while on holiday recently, I decided
that it would be wise to carry my vital health information in some
form all the time. It has also given my family peace of mind! It has
taken me a while to get used to wearing the talisman all the time,
and initially I felt a bit self-conscious, but it's one of the best
decisions I've ever made and the silver is very pretty, too so it's
just like a piece of jewellery to me now. Only it never comes off!
Lyndsey Cromar, Glasgow
5 stars, great quality, the thread on the pendant is very well made
and the workmanship is very very good on the stainless steel
pendant. Very safe. I recently attended a First Aid course and the
instructor was very pleased I was wearing mine as its the first
thing you are trained to look for on a person. Its nice to know the
SOS Talisman
is used by the St Johns First Aid. S A Case, Birmingham
You really can see the quality of the solid gold
SOS Talisman
that I bought for my partners 40th Birthday, a beautiful piece of
jewellery that I know will look after him. B Howard, Yorkshire
The quality is excellent and it also looks good as a piece of
jewelery. It is also watertight. I suffer from heart failure and
type two diabetes so I feel it is essential that if I am taken ill
and unable to communicate that the correct information is available
about my medication. It could prove to be a life saver and I feel
much safer wearing it. I bought the
SOS Talisman
because it is the most well known brand that I know of, it is a one
off payment and the maintenance costs (i.e. spare strips) are very
low and easy to order. G Marshall,
Tamworth
I think the
SOS Talisman
is a fine product that has been carefully made to last a lifetime of
wearing. I purchased the Talisman for my daughter who has
Partial-complex epilepsy. She is away at college, but can have a
seizure if under certain conditions. Just recently, she had to have
some tests done but was a bit dehydrated. She started seizing and
was sent to the E.R, wasting valuable time in treating her. I bought
the Talisman to give us both some piece of mind, so if she has a
seizure during a regular doctors visit, they will have all the
necessary information readily available, saving precious seconds if
emergency treatment is needed. A. Alvarado, Mesa, Arizona USA
Very good quality. Also a good quality SOS Talisman pen was enclosed
to write on the info. You can contain such a lot of information in a
very small area! M. Clapham, Birmingham
The quality is very good - compact, stylish and sturdy. The concept
is very clever and a great deal of information can be stored in a
very small space. It gives great peace of mind. I bought it on the
advice of my anaesthetist. There had been a major problem when
anaesthetic was administered - my Hospital File has 'Red Alert' on
the outside and I was told that it was ESSENTIAL that I wear some
sort of Medical Alarm. Subsequently I saw a friend of mine wearing
one as a pendant and I was so impressed with the design and its
wearability factor that I lost no time in purchasing one. My family
are now greatly reassured and I myself was reassured when I had a
minor trip up in a retail outlet and the person who came to my
asistance IMMEDIATELY recognised my pendant and asked what my alert
was. I WEAR MY
PENDANT
ALL THE TIME DAY AND NIGHT and this gives me great reassurance.
C Boocock, New Milton
I have a medical condition that results in me fainting without any
warning quite often. I usually regain consciousness quickly. However
I can be confused, slow-thinking and unable to walk for some time
afterwards. I was worried about what would happen if I fainted
whilst out and about by myself. I am deafblind so rely on tactile
communication. This means most people cannot communicate with me. So
even if I was conscious, communication may still be a problem and
lead to inappropriate attempts to help me. So, as well as medical
information, my
SOS Talisman
includes a request for a deafblind manual interpreter and contact
numbers for interpreters. This also means that if, for example, I
was injured in an accident, the emergency services would have all
the information they need to get me the communication support I
need. E Ball, London
Excellent quality. Everything fitted together perfectly, no fiddly
forcing bits into place; the two sides of the
SOS Talisman
unscrewed and screwed back again easily and securely.
I'd recently found I have asthma. Also that I am allergic to
one of the treatments for asthma. Therefore having my SOS Talisman
on me, stating what medication I am on, and what I am allergic to,
makes me feel much safer, and therefore happier. C Smith, Falkirk
I bought the watch type
SOS Talisman
for my son who is at university and he wanted something practical to
wear when doing sports ie rugby football etc. He says it feels
comfortable and reliable when wearing it. He had a pendant before
and wasnt allowed to wear it during sport. Clifford J Boyce,
Craigavon, Northern Ireland
Very good quality. I have a pacemaker and take warfarin. My SOS
Talisman bracelet makes me feel safe. J
Laurie, Warrington
Hi my name is Kerry and I'm 30 years old. I bought this bracelet as
a peace of mind really. I have had no medical problems but I do
suffer with really bad hay fever in the summer which means I am on
some really strong tablets. I also suffer with panic attracts all
year round, so as I say if anything really happened to me I feel
safe as i have my SOS Talisman gold plated bracelet. I think its
important to wear a SOS Talisman even if there is nothing wrong with
you because if anything did happen to you at leased the medical
people will have information about you and they will know who to
contact. Kerry Bird
I would rate this as 5 stars! Why buy anything else? This is true
product quality at its best. My SOS Talisman Zodiac Taurus gives me
peace of mind knowing that I will get the best help if I fall ill.
Keith Robert Hindle, Norwich
The quality of the SOS Talisman is very good. Much better than
anticipated. It makes a lovely piece of jewellery as well as keeping
you safe! I am travelling to America on my own in July and for piece
of mind for me and my family I thought it best to have medical
information, especially regarding my epilepsy, at hand.
J Timothy, Birmingham
The
SOS Talisman
looks to be hardwearing and air tight, which is needed, also it does
not look out of place on your wrist, because of the materials you
have used. I purchased the bracelet for my husband who is diabetic,
as he travels abroad and in the UK quite frequently, I feel that it
is important that his medical information is to hand which gives me
peace of mind as well C Williams, Cardiff
I bought an excellent quality sterling silver SOS Talisman bracelet.
I have a rare blood group, lupus and allergies, and living in a
foreign country feel more confident in case of accidents etc
S.E. Southall, Malaga, Spain
My husband is very happy with his SOS Talisman bracelet. He was
diagnosed as an insulin dependant diabetic in May last year, and he
needed something to wear for if he was taken ill whilst outside the
home. D James, Edmonton
I am very pleased with sos talisman
bracelet I bought. I bought it because I am emigrating to South
Australia to live and as the
sos talisman
is known world wide I feel that when I am wearing it where ever I am
people would know what to do so it makes me feel safer.
Spencer Allsop, Norwich
I
found the quality of my talisman excellent, packaging, instructions,
prompt service all wonderful. I bought a Gold plated talisman, with
birth sign engraving. After recent operation I suffered respiratory
arrest after having morphine and other opiates. I was informed by
medical staff to wear a medical alert as have always been sensitive
to the above. I feel safer with my sos talisman, especially when on
my own away from my family.
H
Parkinson, Weston Super Mare
A number of
years ago I bought it just because I thought it was a wise thing to
do - even though I was not under any care or taking any medicines.
After undergoing treatment for cancer and having new medicines and
restrictions I figured this was definitely a wise thing to do. I
recommended it to a dear friend who has her own health battles, she
ordered the SOS Talisman and was so thrilled that she, too, ordered
others. I think we are going to get together over coffee and fill
out our medical information!!
J Parker,
Wadsworth, USA
The sos talisman was bought for my 7yr old autistic son who has
autistic spectrum disorder. We did not want something that would
make him stand out so the sport watch style was just the thing. It
looks no different from a watch just like all the other kids in his
class. The
sos talisman was to inform
others that my son was on medication but also as a safety precaution
as he can not always remember his name and address. S J Collins,
Telford
My brother bought me an SOS Talisman bracelet
for Christmas. I had been trying for a long time to find one but the
chemists and even the hospital in Bedford either had never heard of
them or hadn't got any. I am now wearing
my bracelet and have entered all my medical details. I have also
printed off several copies of the sheet which I have placed in the
car and my handbags. I am allergic to
morphine and therefore this could be life saving for me. Hopefully
it will never be put into practice but if it should thank you for
such a good invention. Yours sincerely
Debbie Hall
Excelent range of products to suite every taste that can be
worn discretely. I have been diagnosed with Meniere's disease and I
bought my
SOS Talisman to help the
people who want to help me in the event of a Meniere's attack. I
receive a great deal of comfort knowing that I have all the bases
covered and in the event of an attack the necessary information
regarding my treatment {as already been prescribed}can be presented
to the professionals.
C E Brown, Crombie, Scotland
I
was very pleased with your service and would definitely recommend
people to use this site. I bought an SOS Talisman replacement cap
and kit as I lost part of my talisman and it was good to know I was
able to get a replacement. Wearing this item makes me feel confident
as a mother who has a small child its invaluable should anything
happen to myself.
F
Bevan-Jones, London
I have been buying SOS Talisman
products for over twenty years and I have never been disappointed at
the quality and the service. This time I have purchased pendants to
contain my medical details plus neck chains. I am fitted with a
pacemaker and it is important that I carry the technical details of
this at all times.
B. N. Comiskey, Colchester
I think the quality of the bracelet is wonderful. It is something I
have to wear all the time and does not look out of place with the
rest of my jewellery. I purchased the SOS Talisman solid silver
bracelet after I had a severe asthma attack and ended up in
hospital. As a single parent of 3 young children I was very worried
if I had another asthma attack whilst on my own with the children,
how would I let the paramedics know what was with wrong with me and
what medication I was currently on.
This is the answer to my prayers - I have contact numbers for my
parents to let them know I am ill so they can come and collect the
children and if I am unable to speak to the medics about my
medication - all my details are there. This bracelet could save my
life. My children have been instructed to call 999 and tell the
operator that mummy is having an asthma attack and wears an SOS
bracelet. This really does give me peace of mind.
S Walters, Shoeburyness
The quality of the
SOS Talisman
is excellent as it has been recognised by professionals as an alert
system for me. I always point it out to medical staff to say that i
wear one of the products and I wouldnt be with out it. It is an
ideal talisman for me to wear, and as I have lots of allergies and
on anticoagulants it means I can show this to anyone and they
understand what to do.
P Seebonn, Irchester
The quality is excellent. I have worn
SOS talismen
pendants for over 30 years and I have only ever had two and they are
still not worn out despite daily wear. This time I bought the ladies
and gents bracelets but I have had pendants with coloured stones in
before to match my outfits. I bought it to save my life as I am
extremely allergic to wasps and penicillin.
V Stubbs, Frinton on Sea
Excellent quality and aftercare service is second to none. It is
such a useful item I feel it should replace the army dog tag for the
military, the uses are endless not just for the sick. Army, Police,
Racing drivers, all extreme sports etc.
I bought my talisman for medical reasons, I have gran mal epilepsy
and a large stomach ulcer that has a tendency to burst. On the last
occasion I required 12 units of blood in a hurry and my blood type
was unknown so I nearly died. But now with the talisman I can be
dealt with a lot faster. N J Moss, Omagh
I am still waiting for my
SOS Talisman
for shipment to South Africa will take a bit longer than usual. From
the pictures I could however see that the quality is definately
excellent. My mother had one about 20 years ago and it was of
excellent quality back then. I am
suffering from porphyria and wanted a safe back up system for we do
travel to Namibia quite often. There is no mobile phone signal for
most of the way for we do travel through Botswana on the way there.
I am sure that I will feel reassured when wearing my SOS Talisman.
H Steyn, Johannesburg, South Africa
The
SOS Talisman
is superbly made, very attractive and serves its purpose very well.
I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes 2.1/2 years ago, but after
controlling it with diet only for all that time, it has now changed
and I have been put onto tablets. After reading about diabetes I
learned about medical alert bracelets etc., so I phoned my local
jeweller and he told me about the SOS Talisman range. I thought this
was a far better option, so I bought a stainless steel bracelet then
logged onto your website and decided to buy the pendant. I use the
bracelet while at the gym or swimming. It makes me feel safe when I
wear it, knowing that all my details are enclosed and I have shown
it to all my work colleagues who were amazed that such a product
existed.
K Craig, Clackmannan
This is the best quality for people that have medical problems. I
bought my SOS Talisman because my doctor informed me I needed a
medical bracelet. My aunt had the SOS one so she told me it was the
best because you could carry all your medical information in it.
I have lupus, insuffient adrenal, seizures and depression. It
is very important for my adrenal problem that I have an alert
bracelet because my doctor said it would be a life or death
situation if I wasn't wearing one and was to go unconscious. I love
the way it looks, it has style. I love it!!!
