Boston Sci sent me the multiple permanent plastic cards at about 8 weeks post surgery. My surgeon gave me his version at the 6 week post op visit. I, too, will be getting a bracelet or some such. Just wanna let people who treat me upon some other accident [as I seem to be prone to involvement or just plain unlucky] before anyone says "Oh, let's get an MRI on this unconscious individual. Gotta get the ID bracelet.

Im looking at purchasing a bracelet. It would make sense. Like what was said, what if you 'forget' to bring your purse or wallet, or its mislaid if (God forbid) you have an accident and you have no way of portraying to the Emergency services that you have an implant etc......hmmmmm definitely going to invest in the id bracelets. Some good sites on internet too and you can get one cheap or if you want to spend some more they have some beautiful ones available. BTW also dog tags, or necklaces too....whatever your preference.
This is a site I found which is quite reasonable too
