Trusted by Healthcare Facilities Nationwide
Healthcare facilities use rubber bands in more ways than most people realize. Pharmacies bundle prescription bags for organized pickup shelves and delivery runs. Laboratories group specimen containers by patient and test type. Medical offices organize supply closets, bundle administrative paperwork, and keep clinical workstations tidy. Physical therapy practices use rubber bands as exercise and rehabilitation tools. In an industry where organization directly impacts patient care, rubber bands are a small supply with a big impact.
BulkRubberBands.com is the exclusive online distributor for Alliance Rubber Company, the last remaining rubber band manufacturer in the United States. Every rubber band we sell is made from premium natural latex in Hot Springs, Arkansas, with consistent sizing and stretch that healthcare professionals can depend on.
For healthcare facilities with latex sensitivity requirements, we also carry latex-free rubber bands made from synthetic materials. These provide comparable stretch and performance without containing natural latex proteins, making them suitable for environments where latex allergies are a concern among staff or patients.
Rubber Band Sizes for Healthcare Applications
Healthcare facilities typically need a range of rubber band sizes for different departments and applications:
Size #33 (3.5" x 1/8") is the standard for pharmacy prescription bag bundling and general office tasks. It wraps securely around folded bags without taking up too much space on pickup shelves.
Size #64 (3.5" x 1/4") handles heavier bundles including grouped specimen containers, stacks of patient records, and supply closet organization. The wider width provides a more secure grip on bulkier items.
Size #32 (3" x 1/8") is popular for laboratory applications where small containers and vials need to be grouped together. Its smaller circumference keeps a tight grip on narrow items.
Size #19 (3.5" x 1/16") is the thinnest option, commonly used for wrapping around individual items like rolled documents, syringe bundles, and small supply groupings. With approximately 1,440 bands per pound, it offers the most bands per dollar.
For physical therapy applications, wider and longer bands provide controlled resistance for hand and grip exercises. Check our size chart for all available sizes and dimensions.
