Throw out your icky flesh-colored band-aids! The Leaf-band-aid is a functionally and aesthetically superior alternative that looks and works better than any band-aid before it!
It’s made of a special color-changing material which gradually changes as it senses and begins to react to the temperature of human skin. When it changes from bright green to yellow, it indicates to the wearer that it’s time to switch out.
The aesthetic of the leaf itself isn’t only representational of the color-changing material. The design was thoughtfully chosen for the leaf’s history as a remedial tool for healing cuts, scrapes and wounds.
Leaf-band-aid is a 2015 Red Dot Award Winner.

After a BBQ last Sunday (there may have been alcohol), I dropped my phone. Multiple times. And I wasn't lucky. Although my iPhone 6 Plus has suffered tiny hairline cracks in two of the corners, this time the drops were critical hits resulting in a sp...

Here’s something you never thought of before. Labels that double up as band-aids. Two designers got together and observed that after you take a vaccine or a shot, instead of a band-aid or a cotton swab, you could just have the vaccine bottle label double up as not just a band-aid, but also as a tag that can let medical personnel know what injection you may have taken. The label comes in three layers, a protective upper film, the printed label, and the cushion pad. Just peel off the label from the vial and place it on the injected spot, cushion pad downwards.
Another neat feature is the printed label that disappears in a matter of time, leaving a complete white sticker when you need to take it off and dispose of it. Ingenious AND indicative!
Show off your twisted sense of humor with Boo-Boos band-aids! Take your pick between a number of utterly disgusting designs including a laceration, chemical burn, gunshot wound and of course, a maggot infestation. They’re sure to make your booboos look so much worse than they are… and if they don’t, a trip to the ER is probably in order.
Designed for patients who must self-inject, like hemophiliacs and diabetics, Easy Aid makes the process of tending the post-puncture area easier. Unlike standard bandaids, the design is almost effortless to use thanks to its gasket design which allows users to quickly pinpoint and place the bandage then pinch off the cover with one hand and in one simple motion!

Don’t remember what happened last night? That’s probably because it didn’t end very well. But aside from having to deal with your scrapes and bruises, the biggest problem you have to deal with is your parents (if you’re still young) or your significant other (if you’re already married.) But what better way to rattle off your excuses than by bandage?
Each ‘What Happened Last Night?’ tin contains 25 excuses bandages to cover up any boo-boos and explain what happened in the process.
I don’t think kids will really get the concept of these bandages and I doubt you’d want to give these to them anyways (one of the band-aids say ‘beer-related incident.’)
These hilarious bandages are available from the Fancy for $15 (USD).
