This 500-count assortment from Supervitae is designed for non-critical workplace or home environments where volume is the primary concern. The "Flexible Fabric" is a synthetic weave made of a polyester and elastic blend. This choice of material makes the bandages resistant to tearing and allows them to return to their original shape after being stretched. The assorted sizes are designed to cover roughly 90% of common minor injuries, such as paper cuts or small abrasions.
Analysis indicates that the acrylic adhesive has a very high initial tack. On skin with hair or in dry conditions, this can lead to "ghost residue" that may require alcohol for complete removal. Conversely, in high-moisture situations like sweating or hand washing, the synthetic fabric can sometimes delaminate from the adhesive backing within a few hours. This makes them most effective for short-term protection in dry environments.
- The high volume-to-cost ratio is excellent for busy households on a budget.
- Latex-free construction reduces the likelihood of allergic contact dermatitis.
- The non-stick polyester mesh pad is efficient for managing minor fluid from small cuts.
Organizers should note that the paper packaging is not water-resistant, so the entire box is vulnerable to damage if stored in a humid bathroom cabinet. These bandages are not "Island-Dressing" style, meaning the edges can be prone to fraying and lifting if they rub against socks or tight clothing. For injuries on the feet, a more durable plastic bandage may stay in place longer.
For a product with a more breathable, woven matrix that performs better on active joints, the Care Science 200-count set is a reliable alternative.
