Bunt Safety Pin

Description

Bunt Safety Pin

The Bunt safety pin is a large steel pin for securing drains, tubing and dressings. Its guard keeps the point covered once closed.

Size of the Bunt safety pin

It measures 12 cm. Besides, that gives a strong hold on thick dressings. Meanwhile, it stays easy to open and close.

Why a steel safety pin

Steel survives sterilisation. As a result, the pin can be reused many times. It also holds its shape.

Typical uses

Wards and theatres use it to anchor drain tubing. For example, it helps secure a drain to a dressing. It also suits bandaging.

Using it

Open the pin and pass the point through the material. Then close it until the guard clicks. Also, check that the point sits fully covered.

Safe handling

Keep the pin closed when not in use. Next, store pins in a container. Finally, check the guard before each use.

Pairing

The Mayo safety pin is a slightly longer option. Furthermore, many wards keep both sizes. Together they cover most needs.
