Bandages and plasters, including adhesive plasters, crepe and cohesive bandages, gauze rollers and sterile wound dressings, for pharmacies, hospital buyers, tender buyers and wound-care distributors.

Product Description:

Bandages and plasters are the everyday wound-care consumables that every pharmacy and ward keeps on the shelf. Adhesive plasters combine an absorbent pad with a backing of fabric, plastic film or foam on a skin adhesive. Elastic bandages, such as crepe or cohesive types, give support and compression for sprains and hold dressings in place. Conforming and gauze roller bandages keep dressings on without pressure, and sterile wound dressings, from simple non-adherent pads to island dressings, cover wounds after injury or surgery.

The choice follows the wound and the user. Small cuts at home suit sterile adhesive plasters, while post-operative wounds need a sterile dressing in a peel pouch opened at the point of use. Compression bandaging for venous leg ulcers is a specialist group applied by trained staff, since poor technique can cause harm. Adhesive sensitivity is common, so hypoallergenic and latex-free options matter, and silicone adhesives are gentler on fragile skin. Waterproof, fabric and detectable blue plasters for food handlers meet different needs.

Sourcing notes. Most bandages and plasters are low-risk medical devices, though sterile items need an assessment of sterilisation under many device systems. Some bandages are described in pharmacopoeias, for example crepe bandage and cotton conforming bandage in the British Pharmacopoeia. Ask for the ISO 13485 certificate, device registration, sterilisation validation, adhesive and latex declarations and shelf life. Packaging should protect sterility and resist humidity in hot climates. Name product type, size, sterile status, backing material, pack size and yearly quantity.
