The prodotype product allowed Dicksons wife to tend to her wounds without assistance. The first Band-Aid products were hand made and not very popular, but by 1924 with the machine made Band-Aids grew in popularity. Due to World War Two, Band-Aids started to ship overseas to millions of medical teams and to hospitals for people who are in urgent care.
In 1954 decorative Band-Aids were introduced to the puplic. They were Superman, Batman, Rocket Power and Smily Faces.
