A Band-Aid is a small adhesive strip used to cover minor cuts, scrapes, and abrasions on the skin. It typically consists of a soft, absorbent pad in the center that protects the wound, surrounded by a sticky material that adheres to the skin. Band-Aids come in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different types of injuries. These first-aid products are designed to keep the wound clean and promote healing while preventing dirt and bacteria from entering. Some Band-Aids are also infused with antiseptic or other healing agents to further aid in recovery. They are a common household item found in many first-aid kits.
