Homonym: Bandaid (Temporary)
A Bandaid is a small adhesive bandage used to cover minor cuts, scrapes, or abrasions. It typically consists of a sterile pad that absorbs blood and protects the wound, attached to a flexible adhesive strip. Bandaids come in various sizes and designs, making them suitable for different types of injuries.
Invented in the 1920s by Earle Dickson, a Johnson & Johnson employee, Bandaids were created to help his wife, who frequently cut herself while cooking. Today, they are a common household item, often found in first aid kits and used for quick wound care.
