Design of adhesive bandages

A tape bandage is a small, soft sheet of material that is sticky on one side and a smaller, non-sticky, absorbent pad on the sticky side. The mat is placed on the wound, and the overlapping edges of the sticky material are flattened so that they stick to the surrounding skin. Adhesive bandages are usually packaged in a sealed sterile bag with a back covered with a sticky side; After the bandage is applied, the backing is removed. They come in a variety of sizes and shapes.
