How do I Get an Implant Identification Card

Where can I get a Metal Implant Card?

If you have a metal implant, such as a joint replacement, pacemaker, or surgical plate, you’ve probably noticed how often it can set off metal detectors. Airports are the most obvious example, but metal detectors aren’t limited to airports. Concerts, sports arenas, government buildings, and some workplaces use them too. Each time you go through a detector, it can lead to extra checks, explanations, and delays. That’s where a metal implant card can make a real difference.

A metal implant card is a simple, credit-card-sized ID that explains your situation clearly. It lets security staff know that an implant might trigger alarms, so you don’t have to go through long conversations or share personal medical details in public. You can just hand over your card, and the staff will understand immediately.

These cards aren’t just about saving time—they’re about reducing stress. Going through security can be tiring or anxiety-inducing, especially if you travel often or attend large events. Having a card means fewer interruptions and a smoother experience. It also protects your privacy. You don’t need to explain your medical history out loud to strangers; the card does that for you safely and discreetly.

Metal implant cards are useful anywhere security checks are routine. Hospitals, clinics, and emergency situations are another example. If you need urgent care, having a card can quickly inform staff about your implant, helping them avoid complications during scans or procedures.

At The Card Project, we make metal implant cards that are durable, easy to carry, and designed specifically for people with implants. The cards are a practical tool to make everyday situations, from airports to medical appointments, simpler and less stressful.

Understanding Metal Implant Cards and How They Help

Metal implant cards are designed to make everyday situations easier for anyone with a medical implant. Some cards include a photo ID and emergency contact details, while others are simple visual alerts that clearly show an implant is present.

Our personalised cards are useful if you want to include your name, a photo, or emergency contacts. They work well for travel, medical appointments, or any situation where someone may need to identify you quickly. Non-personalised awareness cards are designed for instant recognition in public places like airports, schools, hospitals, or events. They clearly indicate that a metal detector or security system might be triggered by an implant, avoiding confusion and repeated explanations.

We also design cards specifically for children. Friendly layouts help younger users explain their implant to staff or teachers without needing to speak. Pop-art and visual designs make the card noticeable at a glance while keeping the message simple and clear.

Sizes, Materials, and Carrying Your Card Every Day

All of our metal implant cards are credit card sized (86mm x 54mm), making them easy to carry in wallets, purses, phone cases, or ID holders. They are printed on durable, biodegradable plastic, so they last while remaining environmentally friendly.

We handle the entire process in-house—from design to printing—so every card meets our standards for clarity and durability. We aim to dispatch all orders quickly, usually within 24 hours, with delivery options for the UK and internationally.

Carrying a metal implant card becomes part of your daily routine. Whether you’re at work, visiting a clinic, or travelling, the card communicates the necessary information without needing to explain yourself repeatedly. It helps reduce stress, maintain privacy, and ensure that staff or security personnel understand your situation quickly and easily.
