START Triage Tags - MetTag Medical Triage Tag

Medical Emergency Triage Tags from MetTag are the original START triage tag used as the standard mass casualty incident data record by many federal, state, and local agencies.  It is trusted by the DOD, Department of Corrections, and many operations centers around the United States.

The MT-137 triage tag is printed on durable synthetic materials that are designed to withstand the rigors of harsh field environments.  The tags are very durable, easy to write on, and individually unique with their own sequential bar code serial number.  A 30 inch elastic band is provided with each tag to insure that it can easily be secured to the victim's body.  With several tear off bar codes on on each triage tag, it is easy to keep track of victim belongings and manage the the victim's intake during hospital or clinic receiving.  

Language can be a barrier when various teams come together during an incident.  The MT-137 triage tag makes extensive use of symbols to identify critical information.  This minimizes the potential for mistakes and critical errors during the decision making process.

The following instructions and sample tags in PDF are available for your use.  If you are looking for practice tags as opposed to samples, you can also purchase our practice triage tags at a discounted rate.
