The process of caring for minor wounds in a non-medical setting can be frustrating due to the time it takes to access and apply the bandage. First aid kits quickly become cluttered with miscellaneous items which makes it difficult treat a wound. The market for first aid items is over saturated with products that come individually wrapped. This means that selecting and accessing options for proper care takes time away from treating the wound.  

The goal of my product is to simplify the process of bandage application for a person with a minor wound in a non-medical environment. ON AID is simple to use and easy to restock. The bandage uses a continuous micro pattern with the cotton, adhesive and polymer evenly dispersed along a continuous roll. The dispenser releases the bandage, while rolling away the excess paper that keeps the bandage sanitary. The bandage can be customized to all wound sizes for optimal coverage and protection.
