Sterochef Blue Detectable Plasters 6cm x 2cm

Sterochef Blue Detectable Plasters are designed specifically for food processing and food preparation environments, where UK law requires any dressing worn by staff to be blue and detectable. Manufactured by Steroplast, a well-established name in first aid products used across many NHS hospitals, they are built to stay firmly in place and to be picked up by metal detection equipment if they ever become dislodged.

Key Benefits

The high-tack, medical grade adhesive is designed to hold securely to clean, dry skin, reducing the risk of a plaster coming loose during food handling. Because they are electro-magnetically detectable, any plaster that does enter the production line can be identified and removed by standard metal detection systems, helping to avoid the cost and disruption of a batch recall. They are hypoallergenic and washproof, making them comfortable and practical to wear through a full shift, whether in a kitchen, factory or catering environment.

Good To Know

Each plaster is individually wrapped and supplied sterile, ready for immediate use. They comply with food hygiene regulations under SI1990 No.1431, so they meet the legal standard required in UK food handling settings. This listing is for the 6cm x 2cm size (Sterochef 5602R).

How To Use

Clean and dry the affected area of skin before applying. Peel back the backing and press the plaster firmly in place, making sure the edges are well sealed. Replace with a fresh plaster if it becomes wet, dirty or starts to lift. For external use only.

Who Is It Suitable For?

These plasters are suitable for anyone working in food processing, food preparation or catering who needs to comply with blue detectable dressing requirements. They should not be applied to broken or irritated skin, and anyone with a known sensitivity to adhesives should check the packaging before use.

Safety Information

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place.

Yes. Sterochef Blue Detectable Plasters are electro-magnetically detectable, so they can be picked up by standard metal detection equipment used in food production lines.

Are they suitable for sensitive skin?

They are hypoallergenic, but as with any adhesive dressing, discontinue use if irritation occurs and avoid applying to broken or irritated skin.

Can these be worn in wet or washdown environments?

Yes, they are washproof, making them suitable for kitchens and food preparation areas where hands are washed frequently.

Do these plasters meet UK food hygiene regulations?

Yes, they comply with food and hygiene regulations under SI1990 No.1431.
