Dukal 16198 - Heavyweight Flex Adhesive Bandages 7/8" x 3", 5000/CS
The Dukal 16198 Heavyweight Flex Adhesive Bandages are premium quality adhesive strips designed to provide reliable wound protection in busy healthcare environments. Measuring 7/8 x 3 inches, these bandages feature a heavyweight, flexible material that conforms comfortably to the skin while maintaining a secure hold. Packaged in bulk with 5000 per case, they are ideal for facilities requiring consistent supply and dependable performance.
Key Benefits
The heavyweight construction delivers enhanced durability, ensuring that the bandage remains in place even under active conditions. The flexible backing moves naturally with the skin to improve patient comfort and reduce irritation. A strong adhesive provides secure fixation, minimizing the need for frequent changes. Each sterile, single use bandage supports infection control and maintains a clean healing environment.
Compatibility and Applications
These adhesive bandages are suitable for use in hospitals, urgent care centers, nursing facilities, schools, and workplace first aid programs. They are appropriate for covering minor cuts, scrapes, abrasions, and small incisions. Their bulk packaging makes them an efficient choice for high demand clinical settings or institutions that require large quantities for daily use.
Usage Guidelines
Clean and dry the wound and surrounding skin before application. Peel open the sterile packaging and place the absorbent pad directly over the wound. Smooth down the adhesive edges to secure. Replace the bandage as needed when it becomes wet, loose, or soiled. Dispose of after a single use and do not attempt to reuse.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
Dukal adhesive bandages are produced in accordance with medical device quality and safety standards for single use wound care products. They are designed to meet applicable regulatory requirements for sterile bandages, supporting safe use in clinical and institutional settings. Check product packaging for specific certifications and regionally relevant approvals.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared to lighter weight adhesive bandages, Dukal Heavyweight Flex Bandages offer superior strength and adhesion, reducing the likelihood of premature detachment. Their flexible design provides a better fit than rigid bandages, making them suitable for active patients and long wear. The bulk 5000 count case reduces restocking frequency and ensures consistent supply, an advantage over smaller packaged alternatives.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Healthcare professionals, first responders, and facility managers are primary users of this product. It is particularly effective in high traffic care environments such as hospitals, schools, factories, and long term care facilities where a reliable stock of adhesive bandages is required for everyday wound care. Patients benefit from secure, comfortable coverage that supports fast healing and reduced infection risk.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store bandages in a clean, dry place at room temperature. Do not use if the sterile packaging is damaged or opened prior to application. Ensure hands are clean or gloved when applying to maintain wound sterility. Rotate stock according to facility inventory policies to ensure oldest supplies are used first. Discard unused bandages if they exceed the recommended shelf life printed on the packaging.
Regulatory and Safety Information
For single use only. Do not apply to infected wounds or deep punctures without medical supervision. Discontinue use if irritation, rash, or allergic reaction occurs. Always follow institutional and regulatory guidelines for wound care product use and disposal.
