Bandages
Bandages: A Business Essential
Bandages are crucial for safeguarding both your employees and customers from potential infections.
Bandage Overview
When selecting bandages for your workforce, comfort should be the top priority. The type, shape, and material of the bandage should align with the nature of the injury and the working environment. A comfortable bandage is more likely to be worn by employees, ensuring proper protection.
Types of Bandages
Choosing the right bandage based on your environment can prevent complications and minimize wound irritation:
- Waterproof: Stays in place even when submerged.
- Clear: Discreet and low-profile for when you want to keep injuries less visible.
- Metal Detectable: Ideal for food service, triggering sensitive metal detectors.
- Elastic: The most commonly used, offering flexibility.
- Heavy Fabric: Thick and durable, made from tough woven fabric.
Bandage Shapes
Injuries often occur in areas that stretch or flex, such as elbows, knees, knuckles, and joints. Opting for a bandage that conforms to these contours ensures greater comfort and longer wear.

- Knuckle
- Patch
- Circle
- Fingertip
- Long-Strip
