HypaPlast blue metal detectable plasters in assorted sizes provide dual-detection wound coverage for food manufacturing and catering environments. Each plaster contains an embedded metal strip detectable by production line metal detectors, combined with the bright blue colour for visual identification. The dual-detection approach meets the highest food safety standards.
Compliance Summary: These plasters are manufactured with hypoallergenic adhesive meeting current UK standards. Suited to workplace, catering, and domestic first aid provision.
What is the difference between visually and metal detectable?
Visually detectable plasters rely on the blue colour for identification by eye during food preparation. Metal detectable plasters include an embedded metal strip that triggers production line metal detectors, providing automated detection. Metal detectable is the higher standard, required in food manufacturing with metal detection equipment.
Do I need metal detectable or visually detectable for my kitchen?
For restaurant and commercial kitchens without metal detectors, visually detectable blue plasters are sufficient. For food manufacturing and processing facilities with production line metal detection equipment, metal detectable plasters are required to ensure automated contamination screening catches any detached plaster.
