Empower Your Patients…Enhance Patient Safety

MedicAlert® Implant Connect℠ enables patients to enroll in registry services so they have access to their own critical medical device information when they need it most. Implant Connect℠ is available through Champion Medical Technologies’ UDITracker® and GraftTracker® tissue and implant tracking software and MedicAlert Foundation’s live 24/7 access to patient emergency medical information.
