Mayo Safety Pin

Description

Mayo Safety Pin

The Mayo safety pin is a long steel pin for anchoring drains, tubing and heavy dressings. A guard covers the point once the pin closes.

Length of the Mayo safety pin

It measures 14 cm. Besides, that extra length suits thick dressings. Meanwhile, the spring stays firm.

Why choose steel

Steel survives heat cleaning. Consequently, the pin lasts for many uses. It also resists bending.

Typical uses

Theatres and wards use it to secure drains. For example, it anchors tubing to a bandage. It also suits large dressings.

Closing it safely

Pass the point through the material away from the patient. Then close the pin until it clicks. Also, check the guard covers the point.

Storage

Keep pins closed in a small container. Furthermore, that protects both points and staff. In addition, it keeps them easy to count.

Bunt or Mayo

The Bunt pin is 12 cm. By contrast, the Mayo pin is 14 cm. Choose by the thickness of the dressing.
