Adhesive Bandages for the Best in Wound Care

Adhesive bandages are the most basic component of any first aid kit. But it’s likely you don’t think much about them until you need one for those inevitable cuts, scrapes and blisters that can happen anywhere, in any workplace.

As you rummage through the first aid kit, you find that you either don’t have the right shaped bandage, or you can’t get the package open. In the meantime, you or someone else is bleeding all over the place.

And the individual packages just have the brand name on them. Which one is the right one? Then you finally get the bandage on and it doesn’t stick.

Running down to your local drugstore isn’t the solution. Size and shapes are limited, and you won’t find some of the specialty items you might need for your workplace.

This is why NorMed carries what some would call a ridiculous selection of high-quality adhesive bandages, made by HART Health, in all shapes and sizes, as well as some hard-to-find specialty items. We know that accidents happen, and our bandages help keep you prepared for any situation.

The Right Shape and Size

The shape and size of the adhesive bandage dressing can determine how well it stays on. Fingers and knuckle adhesive bandages are shaped and designed to fit around your fingers and knuckles. A better fit means better stick. 

You also don’t want a bandage that’s too large or one that’s too small. That’s why NorMed stocks bandages that fit just right, plus they are available in different quantities to meet your needs.

And all our adhesive bandages are latex-free and guaranteed sterile.
