# Medical Label Bandanges This Clever Medical Design Turns Labels into Convenient Tearaway Bandages By David Ingram | Published 2015-10-24 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medical-label References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2015/10/21/medical-magical/) Designers Bang Dae-in and Park Jin-kyeong have created this helpful medical label design that turns labeling into a functional medical tool. The designers noticed that oftentimes after people take a shot with a needle, they need a bandage or cotton swab to deal with bleeding. They decided why shouldn't the medical label serve a dual-purpose once a medicine bottle's contents are empty? This clever design turns labels into [tearaway bandages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bandaid-brand) that can be easily applied to wounds. Each label is covered in a protective film and a [cushioned cotton pad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medicosbiotech). With this bandage design, health professionals can easily identify what medicine a person has immediately taken, and over time, the ink from the label fades away when you no longer need it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Dual-purpose Labels:** Designing labels that serve a dual-purpose as tearaway bandages offers convenience and functionality in medical settings. - **Functional Packaging:** Creating packaging solutions that incorporate additional features, such as tearaway bandages, enhances the user experience and utility of medical products. - **Ink-fading Technology:** Developing ink-fading technology for labels allows for easy identification of recent medication use and promotes efficient healthcare monitoring. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Medical Packaging:** The medical packaging industry has an opportunity to incorporate innovative designs like dual-purpose labels to improve the functionality and convenience of their products. - **Healthcare Technology:** Healthcare technology companies can explore the development of ink-fading technology that can be applied to medical labels for seamless medication tracking. - **Pharmaceutical:** Pharmaceutical companies can collaborate with designers to create functional packaging solutions that provide added value to patients, such as tearaway bandages integrated into medicine labels. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artful Bandage Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-met-x-bandaid.md) - [AI-Enabled Smart Bandages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-smart-bandages.md) - [Waterproof Color-Changing Bandages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drysee-bandages.md) - [Connected Monitoring Bandages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wound-bandage.md) - [Modernized Waste-Free Medication Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-medicine-dispenser.md) - [Durable Water-Friendly Bandages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterproof-clear-adhesive-bandages.md) - [Connected Clothing Tag Removers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/care-label-remover.md) - [Ultra-Gentle Bandages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gentle-bandages.md) - [Healing Transparent Skin Patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psoriasis-prescription-patches.md)
