Band-Aid Flexible Fabric adhesive bandages

Band-Aid is one of the most iconic brands in medical history, originally invented in 1920 by Earle Dickson, an employee of Johnson & Johnson, to help his wife treat small wounds. Since its inception in the United States, it has become a genericized trademark in many regions, synonymous with adhesive bandages.

Historically a flagship brand of Johnson & Johnson, the Band-Aid brand transitioned to a new corporate parent following the 2023 spin-off of Johnson & Johnson's consumer health division. It is now owned and managed by Kenvue, a dedicated consumer health company headquartered in the United States. Kenvue maintains the heritage of the brand while overseeing its global distribution.

Manufacturing for Band-Aid products occurs in multiple countries to satisfy high global demand, including facilities in Brazil, China, and the United States. In Canada, the brand is distributed through localized entities under the Kenvue umbrella, ensuring that these essential first-aid supplies are readily available for North American consumers.
