Dukal 1647025 - Metal Detectable Fabric Adhesive Bandages 1-3/4" x 3", Fingertip, Blue, 1400/CS
The Dukal 1647025 Metal Detectable Fabric Adhesive Bandages are designed specifically for industries where food safety and contamination control are critical. Measuring 1-3/4 x 3 inches in a fingertip shape, these bandages feature a durable blue fabric that is both highly visible and comfortable to wear. Each bandage is equipped with a metal detectable strip, making it easily identifiable by standard metal detectors in food processing, manufacturing, and packaging facilities. This helps prevent foreign body contamination while providing reliable wound protection.
Key Benefits
The bright blue color ensures quick visual detection, significantly reducing the risk of unnoticed contamination. The fabric construction provides flexibility and comfort, allowing for free movement while staying securely in place. The metal detectable strip adds an additional layer of safety by enabling automated detection systems to identify and remove contaminated products. Packaged in bulk with 1400 per case, these bandages deliver both safety and cost efficiency for high volume operations.
Compatibility and Applications
These bandages are widely compatible with food manufacturing and processing environments where contamination prevention is a regulatory requirement. They are suitable for use in commercial kitchens, food packaging facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturing plants, and other controlled environments. The fingertip design ensures a snug fit on curved or irregular areas, providing coverage and protection without compromising mobility.
Usage Guidelines
Clean and dry the wound area before application. Remove the protective backing and apply the bandage directly to the affected area, ensuring the fingertip contour is aligned correctly for optimal coverage. Press down firmly on the adhesive edges to secure it in place. Replace the bandage when it becomes wet, soiled, or loose. Always dispose of used bandages according to facility hygiene and safety protocols.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The Dukal Metal Detectable Bandages meet industry standards for food safety and contamination control. They are manufactured in compliance with FDA and HACCP guidelines for products used in food processing and handling environments. The metal detectable strip ensures compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, giving organizations confidence in maintaining regulatory adherence and audit readiness.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Unlike generic adhesive bandages, the Dukal 1647025 bandages combine high visibility with metal detectability, offering dual safeguards against contamination risks. Competitors may offer standard blue bandages or metal detectable options, but Dukals combination of durable fabric, strong adhesive, fingertip design, and bulk availability makes it a preferred choice for facilities requiring both efficiency and safety. Its 1400-count bulk case also supports cost-effective procurement compared to smaller pack sizes.

These bandages are especially useful in situations where contamination risks are high and strict safety protocols are in place. Application scenarios include minor cuts, scrapes, and abrasions sustained during equipment operation, packaging, or food handling tasks.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store the bandages in a clean, dry location at room temperature.
