Abstract
A composite medical information and identity card adapted to be carried by a person who has had surgery resulting in installation of one or more metallic elements in his or her body of the type which, when passing through an X-ray inspection unit, results in the metal causing an alarm to be given. The card is composite and comprises a small basic card upon which is shown on one surface the name of the person, indication of the type of surgery, and the surgeon's name. The reverse side of the card is laminated with small photographs in side-by-side position respectively of the person's head and the X-ray of the surgery on the person, the card and photographs being sealed between two similar small sheets of transparent thermoplastic film which extend beyond the edges of the card sufficiently to be permanently heat-sealed and form a composite card.
