Medical Data Carrier IM Inc and Medi-K First Aid Training have concluded a distribution agreement making Medi-K the sole distributor of the Medical Data Carrier to the UK market.
Medical Data Carrier (MDC) is a unique, medical information system that provides critical lifesaving data about the rider as well as crucial family contact information in the event of an emergency. The visible, secure and aerodynamic carrier attaches to the left side of an individual’s helmet and is safe for all helmet surfaces.
Bold text on the outside of the carrier warns Good Samaritan responders to leave helmet removal to those trained in the proper technique. Medical Data Carrier IM notes that improper removal can result in collateral injury, paralysis or worse.
Inside, a two sided waterproof paper contains information on the rider’s identity and medical history including information such as allergies, medications, blood type and pre-existing medical conditions that assist first responders with the crucial management/care of the cyclist.
“We are so pleased to have Medi-K and owner Kay Patterson introduce and represent our product to the industry in the UK, said Steve Reed, President of Medical Data Carrier. “She is so passionate about the sport and with her skills and training as a paramedic she delivers a unique and very valuable first aid program.
“I know that with Medi-K behind the MDC that UK industry in all disciplines will soon be well prepared for the unexpected with our product on their helmets!”
“Everyday cycling can result in all sorts of dramas, which makes it so important for cyclists and bike enthusiasts, to be involved in their own personal safety,” said Kay Patterson, Owner of Medi-K.
“Whilst working as a Paramedic I was often witness to cycling incidents whereby I was not able to determine the identity of the casualty and the hospital often struggled to contact their family. This prompted me to contact Medical Data Carrier as I felt it would greatly benefit the UK industry and assist my fellow paramedics. I am very excited about this opportunity.”
