The Epi Silicone Band is a discreet identifier for people with epilepsy to allow members of the public know that they have the condition in the event of them having a seizure in public or if they are in new surroundings where everyone may not know they have the condition.
Oftentimes, first-responders who are equipped with the knowledge on what to do in the event of seizure will look for some sort of indication that a person has epilepsy and the Epi Silicone Band is a perfect identifier for this.

We have fantastic new festival style Purple Wristbands on sale for this year's Purple Day. Purple Day is an international epilepsy awareness day, created by Canadian girl Cassidy Megan in 2008.
Here in Ireland, we use the day to increase awareness of epilepsy by encouraging buildings to light up Purple and by asking our fantastic volunteers to have fundraising events to support our work. Unfortunately, this year in recognition of the threat posed by COVID19, we made the decision to cancel all public fundraising events associated with Purple Day.
Seizures occurring during sleep are qualitatively different from seizures which may happen when one is awake. However, due to the context in which they may occur it is advisable to avoid soft pillows which can cause breathing to be obstructed if the person turns their face into the pillow during the seizure. The price per pillow is €22.00 including postage within Ireland, for outside Ireland, postal rates will cost more, call 01 4557500 to enquire for prices.
