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.
