Safety Pins, Assorted Sizes for Bandage Fastening
Assorted-sized safety pins used primarily to fasten bandages in place, a small but essential item kept in first aid kits and clinical dressing trolleys everywhere.
Safety Pins are a simple, everyday item included in first aid kits and dressing trolleys for one main purpose, fastening bandages securely once they have been wrapped around a wound, joint or limb. Being assorted in size, the pack gives staff a choice of pin depending on the thickness of the bandage and the fabric it is applied to, from a lighter crepe bandage to a bulkier support wrap.
Nurses, first aiders and care staff reach for a safety pin whenever a bandage end needs to be held closed without tape, particularly in situations where an adhesive tape might not stick well to the bandage material or where the patient has sensitive skin that reacts to adhesives. Because they are inexpensive and take up very little space, safety pins are one of those small items that are easy to overlook when restocking a kit, yet a kit without them can leave a bandage unable to be finished off properly.
They are a standard inclusion in first aid kits, sports medical bags and ward supply trolleys across clinical and workplace settings alike.
