Earle Dickson invented the Band-Aid in 1921. A cotton buyer for Johnson & Johnson, he was inspired to create the new product to treat's wife household wounds.
Put another way: People could communicate instantly between New York City and London before they could stick a bandage on a bloody finger. Johnson & Johnson embraced Dickson's idea — and dubbed the product the Band-Aid. The brilliant brand name is credited to factory superintendent W. Johnson Kenyon, according to a report by The Kiplinger Magazine in 1964.
"Dickson created a prototype of cotton gauze and adhesive strips covered with crinoline that could be peeled off to expose the adhesive, easily allowing the gauze and strip to be wrapped over a cut," writes the National Inventors Hall of Fame. that consumers could apply with ease, and created a market that continues to thrive today."to Dr. Richard Ensign and Minnie Dickson.; the mom hailed from Connecticut.
"People needing a small bandage had to make one themselves, and they were often too cumbersome to be easily applied by one person," Johnson & Johnson historian Gurowitz claims. This doctor would soon lend his name to a popular antiseptic mouthwash still in use today: Listerine. Dr. Lister would also inspire the creation of one of the world’s largest companies: Johnson & Johnson.
Earle Dickson was the right man at the right time with the right product — and working for the right company. People had to cut off the length of bandage needed to cover the wound. It was clumsy by today's standards.
