What are Blue Vinyl Finger Stalls used for?
The Sterochef blue fingerstall serves a crucial role in upholding the highest standards of food hygiene, especially in environments where food handling is prevalent. It ensures compliance with food hygiene regulations by keeping dressings and bandages secure and free from potential water contamination, which could soil them or lead to unhygienic contact with food. It's also ideal for protecting an array of finger injuries, including burns, blisters, abrasions, and cuts. Given the stringent requirements of the food industry, these blue finger stalls are specifically designed to meet the "blue items" mandate set by the UK government's food hygiene legislation.
How to use the Finger Stalls
- Begin by dressing the injured area with an appropriate plaster or bandage.
- Carefully position the plastic cap over the affected finger.
- Use the extended plastic strap, tying it securely around the wrist to hold the finger stall firmly in place.
- Whilst the Sterochef finger stall is designed for ease of use and effective protection, it's important to remember that prolonged wear may limit air circulation to the injury. As such, it's recommended to wear the finger stall for short durations only.

Where are Blue Finger Stalls used?
Steroplast's Sterochef blue finger stalls are indispensable in industries that prioritise both the protection of products from hand contaminants and the safeguarding of workers' fingers from potential contaminants in the items they handle. Here are the prime environments for their usage:
Food Processing and Safety
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) necessitates the distinctive blue colour in the food processing sector. This colour selection isn't just about aesthetics; it's about functionality. The striking blue makes the finger stalls stand out against the majority of food items. If, for any reason, a finger stall tears or detaches during the handling process, its visibility ensures quick detection and removal, thereby safeguarding the purity of the final food product.
Worker Safety
For those involved in food handling, minor injuries like cuts or burns are sometimes inevitable. These blue finger stalls act as a protective barrier for such injuries, eliminating any direct contact with the food. This not only maintains the hygienic integrity of the food products but also considerably lessens the chance of further injury, infection, or contamination for the worker.
What Business Owners Need to Know about Blue Plasters, Wound Dressings, and Bandages
In the UK, the food industry operates under stringent guidelines to ensure the utmost safety and hygiene standards. If you're a business owner in the food and catering sector, it's vital to be aware of these guidelines, especially regarding the use of blue plasters, wound dressings, and bandages.
Regulatory Compliance
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) mandates the use of blue plasters in food-handling environments. This is primarily because blue is a non-natural colour in the food industry, making it easily distinguishable.
Detectability
Beyond being visually noticeable, many blue plasters in the UK come with a metal strip embedded inside. This means if a plaster does happen to fall into food, it can be detected with standard metal detection equipment used in food production lines.
