Dukal 163702 - Metal Detectable Fabric Adhesive Bandages 1-3/4" x 3", Fingertip, Blue, 100/BX, 12 BX/CS
The Dukal 163702 Metal Detectable Fabric Adhesive Bandages are specifically engineered for use in environments where contamination control and safety compliance are critical. These fingertip style bandages measure 1-3/4 x 3 inches and are constructed with durable blue fabric that provides high visibility. Each bandage contains a metal detectable strip, making it easily identifiable by metal detection and X-ray equipment in food processing, pharmaceutical, and other safety-sensitive industries.
Key Benefits
The highly visible blue color ensures quick identification if the bandage becomes dislodged, reducing the risk of contamination. The metal detectable strip allows facilities to comply with strict HACCP guidelines and industry regulations, supporting safety and quality assurance programs. The flexible fabric construction provides comfort, secure adhesion, and conforms to the unique shape of the fingertip, promoting mobility and wearability for extended use. Each bandage is individually wrapped and sterile to support hygiene and infection control standards.
Compatibility and Applications
These adhesive bandages are ideal for food processing plants, beverage production, catering operations, and pharmaceutical manufacturing environments where contamination prevention is mandatory. They are also widely used in hospitals, clinics, and industrial workplaces that require both wound protection and adherence to detection protocols. The bandages work seamlessly with standard wound care practices and integrate into existing occupational safety programs.
Usage Guidelines
Clean and dry the affected area thoroughly before application. Remove the sterile bandage from its wrapper and place the absorbent pad directly over the wound. Secure the fabric adhesive firmly around the fingertip, ensuring a snug fit that does not restrict circulation. Replace the bandage as needed if it becomes wet, soiled, or loose. Dispose of used bandages according to facility hygiene protocols.
