Sticking plaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (278 words)
A sticking plaster (called an adhesive bandage in the United States) is a small medical dressing, used for injuries not serious enough to require a bandage.
The plaster is applied such that the pad covers the wound (but does not stick to the wound), and the fabric or plastic sticks to the surrounding skin to hold the dressing in place and prevent dirt from entering the wound.
Sticking plasters are often called by their brand names such as Elastoplast or BAND-AID.
