Most standard band-aids are not sealed around the wound pad — fluid can track under the backing and reach the wound, carrying contamination with it. These Plastic Standard Strip bandages are different. The wound pad is sealed on all sides, meaning water, sweat, and contaminants cannot reach the wound site through the backing. In a workplace, construction site, kitchen, or any environment where hands are in contact with water, dirt, or surfaces throughout the shift, that sealed pad is the difference between a protected wound and an infected one.

Sterile, individually wrapped, latex-free, and hypoallergenic — the standard strip that belongs in every compliant kit, in quantity, because it is the item that gets used first and runs out fastest.

• Sealed wound pad — water and contaminants cannot reach the wound site The wound pad is sealed on all sides against the backing, preventing fluid tracking under the bandage during washing, wet work, or physical activity. Most standard band-aids on the market are not sealed — the pad sits against the wound but fluid can travel under the backing from the edges. A sealed pad keeps the wound site protected through a full working shift in wet or dirty conditions.
• Sterile, individually wrapped — 7.2 x 1.9cm standard size Individually sterile wrapped for single use — each strip is ready to apply directly to a clean wound without additional preparation. The 7.2 x 1.9cm standard size covers small cuts, grazes, and finger injuries with adequate adhesive contact on both sides of the wound. The most-used size in any workplace first aid kit — stock accordingly.
• Hypoallergenic, latex-free adhesive — breathable, suitable for all skin types Latex-free adhesive eliminates allergy risk across a mixed workforce where individual sensitivities may not be known. Hypoallergenic formulation reduces skin reaction risk with repeated use on hands and fingers. Breathable backing supports wound healing without moisture build-up under the dressing.
• Required in all WHS minimum first aid kits — the first item to run out Sterile adhesive strips are a mandatory inclusion in WHS-compliant workplace first aid kits under the SafeWork Australia Code of Practice. They are also the item that gets used most frequently and depleted fastest between audits. Keep enough on hand — a kit with no strips is a kit that fails the people using it.
