Sterile Flexible adhesive bandages are wound‑care dressings designed for minor skin injuries, offering coverage, protection and mild compression. They utilize elastic substrates (such as elastic non‑woven fabrics, elastic yarns or stretch films), combined with a pressure‑sensitive adhesive and an absorbent pad, enabling adherence to the skin while adapting to movement. Key functions include reducing friction, maintaining a clean wound environment, preventing secondary damage, and ensuring comfort during activity.

In the supply chain: upstream consists of elastic substrate manufacturers, adhesive suppliers and absorbent pad material producers; while downstream serves retail pharmacies, e‑commerce platforms, hospitals and end‑user households. In the cost structure, raw materials (elastic substrate, adhesive, absorbent pad) account for ~60% of total cost, manufacturing labor and equipment depreciation ~15%, packaging & logistics ~10%, with the remainder for R&D, validation and marketing.
