Abstract

A bandage or other injury dressing dispenser is disclosed. The dispenser includes a plurality of differently-sized compartments, one for each injury dressing size. The dispenser includes bottom, front, rear and top surfaces and further includes a tension member in each compartment, for providing a biasing force between the compartment rear surface and a backing plate in each compartment. The injury dressings are disposed vertically between the backing plate and the front compartment surface, such that the tension member urges the injury dressings forwardly against the interior side of the front surface. The injury dressings are dispensed from a slot in the bottom surface of each compartment by the application of a downwardly directed force against the injury dressing through an arcuate opening in the front surface of each compartment.
