A life tube is a small plastic cylinder containing a completed medical and information sheet. The information includes the name of the person’s doctor, their health conditions, medication, emergency contact people, pharmacist and lawyer.
The Life Tube is to be kept in the household refrigerator and the provided red sticker should be placed on the outside of the refrigerator door. In the event of an emergency, the Police, Ambulance, Fire Services or Doctor attending can be alerted to the red sticker and know that there is vital information inside the Life Tube available inside the refrigerator. They provide an excellent emergency measure for older people and those with chronic health conditions.
If you would like a Life Tube for yourself or a friend/family member or to make a bulk order, please contact us.
Life Tubes are $5 per tube but free only for people under the umbrella of our Visitor Services programme.
