adhesive bandage
Sticky injury strip
An adhesive bandage is a small strip of material—usually plastic or fabric—with an absorbent pad in the center and sticky edges, used to cover minor cuts and scrapes.
Brand names like Band-Aid have become so dominant that the generic term sounds almost clinical: Do you have any adhesive bandages?
