METTAG Triage Tags for Mass Casualty Response

When a disaster or mass casualty incident overwhelms a scene, seconds spent sorting the critical from the walking wounded save lives. METTAG triage tags give first responders, EMS crews, and emergency management teams a fast, standardized way to categorize and track patients under pressure. Honest Medical carries the trusted METTAG line built for the harsh realities of field triage.

The Mettag Triage Tag (MT-137) measures 4 x 8-1/4 inches and is both blood-proof and water-proof, so it stays legible through rain, mud, and bodily fluids. Its color-coded system — green, white, and yellow (with the standard red/black priority sequence) — follows the START and international triage conventions responders already know, letting teams communicate patient acuity at a glance without pausing to explain a new format.

A common question buyers ask: why a tag instead of a marker or wristband? Triage tags travel with the patient from the scene through transport and handoff, creating a durable record of assessed priority and vital changes. The tear-off priority strips let a responder quickly downgrade or upgrade a patient's status, and the perforated design keeps documentation attached even during rough handling and vehicle transfers.

METTAG tags belong in every emergency go-bag, ambulance, hospital surge kit, and MCI cache. Because they're inexpensive relative to the coordination they enable, agencies typically stock them in bulk so every drill and real event is covered.
