A bandage dispensing device having a handle portion and a head portion. The handle portion comprises a plurality of finger indentions formed on the exterior front portion of the handle to facilitate the gripping of the device. The head portion, attached at the upper portion of the handle, comprises a clip formed on the rear exterior of the head to removably attach the device to a portion of a person's clothing. To incrementally advance a bandage assembly, the interior of the head portion generally comprises a rotatable spool of a bandage assembly strip, a drive belt, and a means for advancing said drive belt incrementally. The strip of bandage assembly comprises spaced apart bandages carried by a nonadhering carrying strip having preferably one throughhole formed between each bandage, wherein pins perpendicularly extending from the drive belt engage within a plurality of the throughholes. A push button extends generally to the exterior of the device at the top of the head portion to allow easy contact with the user's thumb and is in mechanical communication via an advancing mechanism with the drive belt. As the push button is pushed, the advancing mechanism rotates the drive belt in the counter-clockwise direction by one increment. Upon release of the button, a spring urges the assembly back to its original position, however, the advancing mechanism disengages from the drive belt and moves back to its original position without rotating the drive belt in the clockwise direction.
