Hansaplast Universal plaster strips

Hansaplast is a well-known brand of adhesive bandages and wound care products. The brand originated in Germany when the company Beiersdorf AG launched the first self-adhesive plaster in 1922. Hansaplast products are sold under several names globally, including Elastoplast and Curitas, but they share the same technological heritage. Today, manufacturing occurs in various locations including Germany, Spain, and Mexico to serve global markets. The brand remains a core part of the Beiersdorf portfolio, a multinational German consumer goods company specializing in skin care.

The Universal strips shown are a staple in first-aid kits across Europe, known for their water resistance and strong adhesion. Beiersdorf continues to lead the market in wound care innovations, maintaining its headquarters in Hamburg, Germany.
