ABSTRACT:
An adhesive bandage dispensing system comprises a bandage retaining and dispensing spool and a continuous elongated bandage strip wound around the spool. The bandage strip comprises a plurality of individual adhesive bandages serially connected to one another at perforated edges. The perforations are oriented transverse to the elongated direction of the bandage strip and structurally weaken the bandage strip so that individual bandages may be separated from the bandage strip at the perforation lines by application of removal force thereto. The bandage strip is sized and shaped to ensure that absorbent pads of the bandage strip are sealingly enclosed by the bandages strip itself. The invention, thus, provides a bandage dispensing system which prevents contamination of the individual bandages without the need for additional packaging materials. Numerous advantageously shaped spools for use in the bandage dispensing system are disclosed.
