Clawgear A Pos Bloodgroup Patch

The patch should follow the equipment, not remain on it. This is the most common oversight: you change your vest, jacket, or bag, and the medical information stays on the one you left in the closet.

The habit to adopt

Every time you change your setup, the medical patch is part of the list - just like the tourniquet or the flashlight. Velcro makes the transfer immediate, which is an advantage as long as you remember to do it.

Many people own two for this reason: one per setup, rather than a single one that travels and you forget to move. At €2.90, the insurance is inexpensive.

A patch that is not for you

It exists to be read by a third party when you can no longer respond. It only fulfills its function if it is visible from the outside, accurate, and consistent with the rest of your medical information.

A patch remains an indication on the equipment, not a medical document: it does not replace any formal verification.

The eight references in the series

All at €2.90, in Desert and RAL7013:

0 Pos and 0 Neg
A Pos (this one) and A Neg
B Pos and B Neg
AB Pos and AB Neg

Check twice before ordering: a patch with the wrong group is worse than no patch at all.

Two discreet treatments

Desert and RAL7013, with no bright color version.
