Elastoplast

Elastoplast is a trademark name of a brand of sticking plaster (bandage) or medical dressing made by Beiersdorf. Beiersdorf bought UK and Commonwealth rights to the parent company, Smith & Nephew in 1992 for £46.5 million.

The name has become a genericized trademark for "sticking plaster" in some Commonwealth countries.
