Earle Dickson Invented the Band-Aid to Save Wife's FingersEarle Dickson was employed as a cotton buyer for the Johnson & Johnson when he invented the band-aid in 1921. His wife Josephine Dickson was always cutting her fingers in the kitchen while preparing food. At that time a bandage consisted of separate gauze and adhesive tape that you would cut to size and apply yourself. Earle Dickson noticed that gauze and adhesive tape she used would soon fall off her active fingers. He decided to invent something that would stay in place and protect small wounds better.Earle Dickson took a piece of gauze and attached it to the center of a piece of tape, and then covered the product with crinoline to keep it sterile. His boss, James Johnson, saw Earle Dickson's invention and decided to manufacture band-aids to the public and make Earle Dickson vice-president of Johnson & Johnson.Band-Aids & Boy ScoutsSales of Band-Aids were slow until Johnson & Johnson decided to give Boy Scout troops free Band-Aids as a publicity stunt. By 1924, Band-Aids were machine made, sold sterilized in 1939, and made with vinyl tape in 1958.

Sterile band aids are made from sterile gauze and adhesive tape. The gauze is made up of cotton and is in the middle part of the adhesive tape to stick to the skin and protect the injury from further infection.

The Band-Aid was invented in 1920 by William meracle, an employee of Johnson & Johnson, for his wife Josephine who was always cutting and burning herself while cooking. The prototype product allowed his wife to dress her wounds without assistance. Dickson, a Highland Park, New Jersey resident at the time, passed the idea on to his employer who then went on to produce and market the product as the Band-Aid. Dickson had a successful career at Johnson & Johnson eventually becoming a Vice President before his retirement. The first bandages produced were hand-made and not very popular. By 1924 Johnson & Johnson introduced the first machine that produced sterilized Band-Aids. In World War II, millions of Band-Aid bandages were shipped overseas. In 1951 the first decorative Band-Aids were introduced to the market. They continue to be a huge success today with decorative themes such as Batman and Peanuts characters.
