MET-TAG™ - The Standard Since 1976

The METTAG Triage System was conceived in 1975 by Robert F. Blodgett, a Civil Defense Director of Jacksonville, FL and TACDA official, who then gave the tag to TACDA in 1976 in hopes that it would financially support TACDA's civil defense publication, the Journal of Civil Defense. Since then, millions and millions of METTAG's have sold around the world, and continue to save lives and support TACDA today. METTAG's are of the oldest and best quality triage tag in the industry.

Many variations of Mettag Triage Tags have been used over the last several decades. Most tags, though, are far too complicated for rapid first response use. The need for a simple and effective triage tag without language barriers will always exist. 


METTAG™ is committed to keeping the MT-137 as close to its initial design over 40 years ago, much to the appreciation of the professionals for whom it was developed. The Original MT-137 Medical Emergency Triage Tag is constructed of a high-density damage resistant synthetic material and is printed using a special thermal printing process, allowing use in the harshest and most demanding field situations. 


Additionally, each Medical Emergency Triage Tag is equipped with a 30-inch elastic band, which is used for attaching the tag to the victim's body, usually around the neck or to an available limb.


Some notable features are:

  • Fire resistant
  • Water-proof
  • Chemical resistant
  • Tear-proof
  • UV light and heat resistant
  • A universal tool, with no language barriers, and minimal training for use
  • Standard graphic symbols and a four-color tear-off triaging system
  • Simple and effective tag for fast triaging in the field
  • Unique barcodes for use of tracking and identifying victims and their belongings
  • Proudly made in the USA
