In search of fashionable medical alert wristbands with personalized medical emergency Symbols. Or which emergency symbol need to be worn as a pendant, ring, or cuff?
Except of the necessary ID information, there are several of the most famous medical emblems, each of which has its own unique origin and significance. They are also often engraved on the med-alert jewelry to point out what kind of jewelry it is. Let's learn more about the most popular symbols, their meaning, and origin.
The Rod of Asclepius – Rod With One Twisting Serpen
The rod of Asclepius is a famous medical symbol. It is depicted as a rod, around which a snake is twisting with its head up. This emblem originated in ancient Greece, around the 8th century BC.
According to the legend, the patron saint of medicine Asclepius (in Roman mythology - Aesculapius), who had a divine origin, was a skilled doctor and could even resurrect the dead. Once he was invited to the palace of the Cretan king Minos to resurrect his dead son. Asclepius walked, leaning on a staff around which a snake was twisting. He was frightened and killed it, but suddenly a second snake appeared, carrying a plant in its mouth. Asclepius realized that this plant is healing, took it, and resurrected the king’s son.
Bowl with a snake
A bowl with a snake is also a famous medical symbol. For the first time, its images began to appear around 800-600 BC. Initially, the bowl and the snake were attributes of Hygea - the daughter of Aesculapius, who held them in different hands.
This emblem then was forgotten for a long time. And only in the XVI century, at the suggestion of Paracelsus, the bowl with a snake became a medical symbol. According to various assumptions, the snake is a symbol of wisdom, knowledge, and immortality, as well as the healing properties of its poison, which was widely used in medicine at that time. A bowl is a vessel for its storage.
Caduceus
Caduceus - the rod of the Greek messenger of the gods Hermes (in the myths of Ancient Rome - Mercury). It is depicted as a rod with wings entwined with two snakes. Snakes are a symbol of the interaction and balance of opposites. In ancient Rome, the caduceus also symbolized virtue and mystery.
For a long time, it was used as a sign that protects commercial or political correspondence. Now it is the emblem of commerce and medicine.
Red Cross
In 1859, a Swiss Henri Dunant traveled to Italy, where he witnessed the battle of Solferino. Army medical services could not cope with their duties, also as they did not have a distinctive emblem that could be identified during the battle. As a result, after the battle, several thousand wounded soldiers were left on the battlefield without help.
In 1863, at the International Conference in Geneva, the symbol of the red cross on a white background was approved as a hallmark of assistance to the wounded military. A year later, it was recognized as the hallmark of the medical service of the armed forces.
Star of life
The star of life is depicted as a blue snowflake. This sign appeared in the USA, where it is called "Star of life". The Star of Life is an ambulance emblem controlled by the American Medical Association and the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. This is the most “young” medical symbol, it has been used only since February 1, 1977.
Each ray of the star of life denotes a separate function of the emergency medical service: detection, warning, response, assistance, assistance during transportation, transport for follow-up care. Asclepius’s rod is usually depicted in its center.
