Dukal 1980000 - Butterfly Adhesive Bandages 1/2" x 2-3/4", Large - 10800/CS
The Dukal 1980000 Butterfly Adhesive Bandages are sterile, single use wound closures designed for securing small cuts, surgical incisions, and lacerations. Measuring 1/2 x 2-3/4 inches, these large butterfly bandages feature strong adhesive wings that keep wound edges approximated, supporting faster and cleaner healing. Supplied in bulk cases of 10,800 units, they are ideal for hospitals, urgent care centers, and first aid providers requiring high volume wound closure solutions.
Key Benefits
These adhesive bandages offer a non invasive alternative to sutures or staples for minor wounds, reducing patient discomfort and the risk of scarring. Their sterile packaging ensures a hygienic wound environment, while the butterfly shape provides superior strength and flexibility to hold wound edges in place. The bulk case packaging offers cost efficiency for facilities with high patient volumes.
Compatibility and Applications
Dukal butterfly bandages are compatible with standard wound care protocols and can be applied quickly without special equipment. They are commonly used in emergency rooms, urgent care facilities, surgical centers, and outpatient clinics. Typical applications include closing small surgical incisions, minor traumatic wounds, or skin tears that benefit from edge approximation.
Usage Guidelines
Clean and dry the wound area thoroughly before application. Remove the bandage from its sterile packaging and gently pull wound edges together. Apply the adhesive wings on each side of the wound, ensuring firm adhesion to the skin. Replace the bandage according to wound healing progress or if adhesion becomes compromised. For best results, apply under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
Dukal butterfly bandages are produced under strict quality control standards for medical devices. They are supplied sterile, single-use, and latex-free, meeting applicable safety requirements for wound closure products. Users should check the product packaging for region-specific certifications, such as FDA listing or CE marking, to confirm compliance.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared to generic butterfly closures, the Dukal 1980000 offers reliable adhesion and consistent manufacturing quality across large volumes. The sterile packaging ensures safety and ease of use, unlike non-sterile closures intended for consumer markets. Bulk packaging of 10,800 units per case makes it particularly suitable for healthcare institutions with high patient turnover.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Primary users include emergency department clinicians, surgical staff, nurses, and first aid responders. These bandages are most effective in high-volume care settings such as hospitals, ambulatory centers, and first aid stations. They are also used in occupational health clinics and schools where rapid response to minor injuries is required.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Do not use if the packaging is damaged or opened prior to use. Ensure the wound is cleaned and free of debris before applying the closure. Do not attempt to reuse or resterilize. Always follow institutional wound care protocols to maximize healing outcomes.
Regulatory and Safety Information
For single use only. Do not apply to infected or heavily bleeding wounds. Seek medical attention for wounds that cannot be properly closed with adhesive strips. Follow healthcare facility guidelines and local regulations for wound closure and disposal of used materials.
