Quick answer: The METTAG MT-137 is the original medical emergency triage tag, used worldwide since 1976. Liquid-proof synthetic construction, a four-colour tear-off triaging system, unique sequential barcodes and a pre-strung 30 inch elastic. Sold as a pack of 50 - the standard tag for mass casualty incident (MCI) triage.
Why the MT-137 is the standard triage tag
- High-density damage-resistant synthetic - fire, water, chemical and tear resistant
- Universal graphic symbols - no language barrier, minimal training to use
- Four-colour tear-off triaging system for fast field classification
- Unique sequential barcodes to track casualties and their belongings
- Pre-strung with 30 inch elastic for attaching to the casualty
- Made in the USA by TACDA / METTAG (METTAG = Medical Emergency Triage Tag)
What do the colours on a triage tag mean?
The four tear-off colours classify casualties by treatment priority: red for immediate (life-threatening, treat first), yellow for delayed (serious but stable), green for minor or walking wounded, and black for deceased or non-survivable injuries. Responders tear the tag to the priority level of the casualty.

Common questions
What are triage tags used for?
Triage tags let first responders classify casualties by injury severity during a mass casualty incident, so treatment and transport go to those who need them most urgently. Each casualty is tagged with a visible priority level that follows them through treatment and transport.
Are these genuine METTAG tags?
Yes. MediBC supplies genuine METTAG tags manufactured in the USA by TACDA, the official manufacturer and copyright holder of the METTAG triage tag system since 1976.
How many casualties does one pack cover?
Each pack contains 50 individual tags - one tag per casualty. Emergency plans commonly stock multiple packs across vehicles, kits and emergency operations centres.
Is there a training version?
Yes - the MT-137i training tag mirrors this tag on recyclable card stock at a lower price, so teams can run repeat MCI drills without using field stock.
