Our Alzheimer's / Dementia Medical ID Bracelet uses a sister hook clasp. It takes both hands to open and close, so it's hard to take off by accident. That makes it a good choice for someone with dementia, autism, or anyone who tends to fiddle with or remove their bracelet.
How to open it
- Find the clasp. It has a top and a bottom, with a small ring (the O-ring) on the chain holding it closed.
- Slide the O-ring toward the bottom of the clasp.
- Pull the two sides of the clasp apart so it opens into a V shape.
- Slide the O-ring around the clasp and off. The bracelet is now open.
How to close it
Do the same steps in reverse: open the clasp into a V, hook the O-ring back on, fold the clasp closed, then slide the O-ring back toward the top so it holds the clasp shut.
Tips for caregivers
- Practice opening and closing it a few times yourself before putting it on your loved one.
- Put the bracelet on when your loved one is calm and seated. Two free hands make it much easier.
- Check the clasp now and then to make sure it's fully closed and the engraving is still easy to read.
