Band-Aids
Adhesive wound strips
Band-Aids is a trademark for small adhesive bandages used to cover minor cuts and scrapes.
The product has become so ubiquitous that the name often serves as a generic term for any adhesive bandage: Do you have a Band-Aid? I cut my finger. (Lowercase band-aids refers to inadequate temporary solutions.)
