sticky plaster
Small wound covering
A sticky plaster is a British term for a small adhesive bandage used to cover minor cuts and wounds—what Americans call a Band-Aid.
The plaster has a pad of gauze attached to a strip of adhesive tape: Have you got a sticky plaster? I've cut my finger.
Often shortened to just plaster in British usage.
