Complete guide: Ecotat Box of 250 Tattoo Clip Cord Sleeve Covers - 50mm
The ECOTAT set of 250 clipcord covers is a single-use consumable designed to protect the clipcord cable of the tattoo machine during a session. Each sleeve is 50mm wide and 800mm long — the standard size that fits most professional clipcords — and comes in a dispensing box of 250 pieces for quick and hygienic extraction. It is suitable for any studio working with clipcord-powered machines that wants a clean protective barrier, changed for each client.
How to use
- Before the session, take out only as many sleeves as you need for the current client, using the box's dispensing system.
- Visually inspect the sleeve before application to ensure there are no holes or tears.
- Slide the sleeve over the entire length of the clipcord cable, from the machine towards the power supply, so that it fully covers the contact area.
- If you have other exposed cables in the station (RCA or power), you can apply additional sleeves from the same set, as the 50mm width also fits these.
- At the start of the session, check that the sleeve stays securely in place without slipping.
- At the end of the session with each client, remove the used sleeve — do not reuse it on another client.
- Dispose of the used sleeve as contaminated waste in the yellow bag, following the studio's hygiene protocol.
- Close the remaining box and store it in the clean area of the studio, away from the work area, to keep unused sleeves clean.
Tips from us
- As a consumption reference: an artist working with a clipcord machine on about 3 clients per day uses around 60-90 sleeves per month, so a set of 250 covers approximately 3-4 months.
- Keep a few spare sleeves near the station during long sessions, in case the applied one gets dirty or torn.
- The 50mm width also fits RCA cables or other power cables of the machine, so you can protect all exposed cables in the station with the same set.
- Combine them with the rest of the ECOTAT range (receiver covers, surface protection films, machine and power supply bags) for a fully covered work area.
- Keep the box closed between sessions, away from dust, so that unused sleeves remain clean.
Warning: This is a single-use product: each sleeve is applied to one client only, then disposed of — do not disinfect it for reuse. After the session, dispose of it as contaminated waste (yellow bag), following the waste management rules for tattooing activities, not in household trash. The sleeve protects the cable from contact with blood and other fluids during the session, but does not replace proper disinfection of equipment between clients.
Frequently asked questions
What does the 50mm width mean for these covers?▾
It is the diameter of the sleeve when stretched over the cable — the standard size that fits most professional clipcords used in tattooing.
What material are they made of?▾
According to the product information, ECOTAT sleeves are made of polyethylene, a latex-free material — suitable even for sessions with clients who have a latex allergy.
How are they disposed of after use?▾
They are single-use. After each client, the used sleeve is disposed of as contaminated waste in the yellow bag, following the waste management protocol in tattoo studios — they are not recycled.
Do they fit other station cables, not just the clipcord?▾
Yes. The 50mm width also fits RCA cables or other power cables of the tattoo machine, so you can cover all exposed cables with the same set.
How do you take them out of the box without contaminating the rest of the pack?▾
The ECOTAT box has a dispensing system that allows you to take out one sleeve at a time, so the rest remain clean and untouched until the next use.
How long does a set of 250 pieces last for a small studio?▾
As a rough guide, an artist working with a clipcord machine on about 3 clients per day uses around 60-90 sleeves per month — so a set of 250 covers approximately 3-4 months of activity.
