What is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome?
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) refers to a group of inherited disorders that affect connective tissues — the structures that support skin, joints, blood vessels, and organs. Common features include joint hypermobility, stretchy or fragile skin, and a tendency to bruise easily. Some forms, such as vascular EDS, can involve life-threatening complications. An ICE card ensures that emergency staff are aware of the condition right away, allowing them to treat you gently and avoid procedures or medications that may cause harm.
