Description Blue Plasters – Waterproof & Superstretch by Detectaplast are professional-grade metal-detectable first-aid plasters specifically engineered for environments where food safety, hygiene, and foreign-body control are mandatory, such as in food production facilities, catering services, and industrial kitchens. These plasters are designed to meet rigorous safety standards including HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), IFS (International Featured Standards), and BRC (British Retail Consortium) food safety certifications, ensuring they are both visually and machine detectable by metal detectors in processing lines. What sets this product apart is its dual waterproof and superstretch properties. The waterproof element uses a PU (polyurethane) outer film that repels water and contaminants, making it suitable for use in wet or damp conditions often encountered in kitchens or food prep areas without losing adhesion or integrity. Meanwhile, the superstretch feature gives the plasters exceptional elasticity and flexibility, allowing them to conform comfortably to moving body parts like knuckles and joints without peeling off during vigorous work. The bright blue colour is chosen because it is not naturally found in food products, making it easily visible if detached, while an aluminium foil insert under the absorbent wound pad ensures they are detectable by both metal detectors and visual inspections. The hypo-allergenic adhesive ensures secure placement with minimal risk of irritation, and the wound pad itself does not stick to cuts or abrasions, reducing discomfort during removal. Detectaplast’s waterproof and superstretch plasters are available in multiple sizes and formats, making them versatile for different wound locations and workplace needs. In summary, these plasters combine safety, comfort, and durability, helping businesses maintain high hygiene standards while protecting employees and products.
