A bandage strip includes a plurality of flat adhesive bandage packages of conventional configuration, having sealed therein an adhesive bandage with a pad and an adhesive substrate for adhering to a patient and holding the pad in place on the patient's skin. The packages are adhered to an elongated substrate in end-to-end, spaced relation to form a flat, elongated bandage strip, with perforations in the substrate between the packages. A user can dispense a length of substrate, sever it at the perforations, and remove the bandage from the substrate for use in the conventional manner. A bandage dispensing device is attachable to the wrist of a user for convenient dispensing of bandages from a strip of individually packaged bandages.

1. A bandage strip in combination with a spool, the bandage strip including: a plurality of adhesive bandage packages, each said package including a first sheet and a second sheet adhered to each other at mutually facing peripheral portions to provide a sealed enclosure containing at least one adhesive bandage, said adhesive bandage comprising a bandage substrate with an adhesive side for adhering to a patient and holding said bandage in place on the patient's skin and a release layer covering said adhesive side of said bandage substrate, wherein said release layer is adhered only to said adhesive side of said bandage substrate to permit separation of said first and second sheets and removal of said bandage from said enclosure with said entire release layer remaining in place on said bandage substrate;an elongated substrate substantially covered on a top side by an adhesive, at least one row of said packages being arranged on said elongated substrate with one of said first sheet and said second sheet adhered to said top side of said elongated substrate lengthwise with said packages disposed in facing relation to form an elongated bandage strip, wherein said packages have a space therebetween and are narrower than said elongated substrate to provide an adhesive-covered periphery surrounding each said package, and wherein the one sheet adhered to said elongated substrate remains adhered to said elongated substrate when the other sheet is separated from said one sheet; anda release liner adhered to said top side of said elongated substrate around said adhesive-covered periphery to cover said packages and adhere to said elongated substrate around said periphery including said space between said packages, said elongated substrate and said release liner having perforations therein across their width in said space,wherein said bandage strip is wound lengthwise around said spool with said packages arranged in end-to-end relation circumferentially, said release liner on said top side of said elongated substrate preventing contact with said adhesive by a bottom side of a portion of said elongated substrate on said spool to permit said bandage strip to be unwound from said spool, and unwound bandage strip portions are separable at said perforations from portions remaining wound around said spool. 2. A bandage strip as in claim 1, wherein each said bandage includes a gauze pad on said adhesive side of said bandage substrate and said release layer covers said gauze pad. 3. A bandage strip as in claim 2, wherein said release layer has two parts separately attached to said adhesive side of said bandage substrate. 4. A device for dispensing adhesive bandages in combination with a bandage strip that includes said adhesive bandages, the device including: a bandage holding compartment holding a bandage strip and a spool, the bandage strip including: (1) a plurality of adhesive bandage packages, each said package including a first sheet and a second sheet adhered to each other at mutually facing peripheral portions to provide a sealed enclosure containing at least one adhesive bandage, said adhesive bandage comprising a bandage substrate with an adhesive side for adhering to a patient and holding said bandage in place on the patient's skin and a release layer covering said adhesive side of said bandage substrate, wherein said release layer is adhered only to said adhesive side of said bandage substrate to permit separation of said first and second sheets and removal of said bandage from said enclosure with said entire release layer remaining in place on said bandage substrate,(2) an elongated substrate substantially covered on a top side by an adhesive, at least one row of said packages being arranged on said elongated substrate with one of said first sheet and said second sheet adhered to said top side of said elongated substrate lengthwise with said packages disposed in facing relation to form an elongated bandage strip, wherein said packages have a space therebetween and are narrower than said elongated substrate to provide an adhesive-covered periphery surrounding each said package, and wherein the one sheet adhered to said elongated substrate remains adhered to said elongated substrate when the other sheet is separated from said one sheet, and(3) a release liner adhered to said top side of said elongated substrate around said adhesive-covered periphery to cover said packages and adhere to said elongated substrate around said periphery including said space between said packages, said elongated substrate and said release liner having perforations therein across their width in said space,wherein said bandage strip is wound lengthwise around said spool with said packages arranged in end-to-end relation circumferentially, said release liner on said top side of said elongated substrate preventing contact with said adhesive by a bottom side of a portion of said elongated substrate on said spool to permit said bandage strip to be unwound from said spool, and unwound bandage strip portions are separable at said perforations from portions remaining wound around said spool; anddispensing structure permitting a user to access said bandage strip to unwind a portion thereof from said spool to withdraw at least one bandage package from said compartment. 5. A dispensing device as in claim 4, wherein said dispensing structure includes a plurality of said bandage holding compartments, each bandage holding compartment holding one of a plurality of said bandage strips wound around a respective spool. 6. A dispensing device as in claim 4, wherein each said bandage includes a gauze pad on said adhesive side of said bandage substrate and said release layer covers said gauze pad. 7. A dispensing device as in claim 6, wherein said release layer has two parts separately attached to said adhesive side of said bandage substrate.
