Smile Medical....

As for medical bracelets - I tell them to tape over them and then suggest a sweat band over that. I never check under players' sweat bands.

My experience is that these fit so snugly the risk of injury to someone else is rather minimal. The liability if something happens and they end up going to a hospital without it is too high. (I'm actually more concerned for their health implications than my personal liability. I carry insurance.) Even if I try to word it so that it is their own decision, the fact is I enfluenced them to take it off. I don't want to live with the possible outcomes of that scenario.

I expect an Emergency Room to be thorough enough to find the bracelet under the sweat band and tape.
