Each package contains 15 large and 15 medium-sized bandages. Tru-Colour Products LLC started in 2014 with co-founders Toby Meisenheimer, Ryan Tolbert, and Mason Duling with the mission to bring diversity in healing to the healthcare market by offering bandages in a variety of skin tone shades.
Historically, name-brand bandages and other first aid equipment claimed as "flesh-colored" existed solely in soft pink or light tan tones. The use of white skin as the default basis for "flesh-color" excludes consumers of color. Companies including Soul Aid (1970s), Ebon-Aide (1990s) and more recently, Browndages and Tru-Colour®, developed bandages to represent people of color and fill this gap in the market.
