These small safety pins are 28mm, supplied on a card of 12, and they are the size most first aid kits actually need. Their job is unglamorous but specific: holding the end of a triangular bandage, closing a sling, or stopping a crepe bandage unrolling once it is applied.

  • 28mm length, the compact size for bandage and sling work
  • Card of 12 pins

Why choose small safety pins at 28mm?

Pin size is a practical trade-off. A larger 52mm pin grips more layers and is easier to handle with cold or gloved hands, which is why it turns up in remote and workplace kits. Small safety pins at 28mm go through a single bandage layer neatly, sit flat against the body, and are less likely to catch on clothing or dressings. For everyday slings, triangular bandages and crepe, 28mm is usually the right call. If you are securing thick or multiple layers, step up a size.

Common uses

Securing triangular bandages and arm slings, holding crepe and conforming bandages in place, and general first aid kit restocking. They are a standard restock item, so most buyers add them alongside bandages or a broader top-up from first aid supplies at MediBC.

Small Safety Pins FAQs

What size safety pins go in a first aid kit?

Most kits carry an assorted pack or a small size around 28mm for slings and triangular bandages. Larger 52mm pins are used where thicker layers need securing. Many workplace kits stock both.

How many safety pins come on a card?

Twelve pins per card. That is enough to restock several kits, since a standard kit typically holds a pack of assorted pins rather than a dozen of one size.

What are safety pins used for in first aid?

Chiefly to secure a triangular bandage as a sling, and to fasten the loose end of a crepe or conforming bandage so it does not unwind. They are also used to pin a note or injury record to a dressing in some settings.

Are these pins rustproof?

They are standard nickel-plated steel first aid pins. Keep them in a closed kit rather than somewhere damp, and replace the card if you see any corrosion, since a pin that has rusted can snap or snag.

Where can I buy safety pins for first aid kits?

Here, by the card of 12. If you restock kits regularly, it is worth keeping spare cards with your other consumables so a kit is never signed off with a missing pin.
