AeroSupplies First Aid Safety Pins, Medium, Bag of 12
Safety pins are in first aid kits for one reason: they are a quick way to secure a sling or bandage with one hand while the other hand supports the casualty. Pin the point of a triangular bandage at the elbow of an arm sling, fasten the end of a crepe or conforming bandage where tape will not stick, or secure a folded bandage that holds a splint.
This resealable bag of 12 medium pins is the standard kit refill and keeps the pins together and closed until they are needed.
Sold as a bag of 12, enough to restock several kits or a first aid room, with quantity pricing for kit assemblers.
Features
- Bag of 12: enough to restock several kits or one first aid room.
- Medium size: suits slings, crepe bandages and folded triangular bandages.
- Resealable bag: keeps the pins together and closed in the kit.
- Multi-use: secure slings, bandages, splint ties and blankets.
How to use
- Fold a small pleat in the bandage or sling where it is to be fastened.
- Push the pin through both layers, keeping your fingers under the material so the point travels away from the skin, then close it.
- Position the pin where it will not press on the casualty when they rest.
Keep pins closed and in the bag when not in use, and out of reach of children. Tape or a bandage clip can be used instead where a pin could slip onto the skin.
