BAND-AID is an American adhesive-bandage brand invented in 1920 by Earle Dickson, a Johnson & Johnson cotton buyer, in Highland Park, New Jersey. Dickson made the first prototype for his wife Josephine by placing gauze squares at intervals along a strip of surgical tape covered with crinoline. Johnson & Johnson commercialized the design in 1921; first-year sales totaled $3,000. The brand has produced over 100 billion bandages since launch and was transferred to Kenvue when Johnson & Johnson spun off its consumer-health division in 2023. Supreme collaborated with BAND-AID on the SS19 Adhesive Bandages, a 20-count box of red box-logo-printed bandages that retailed for six dollars.
