He worked for Johnson and Johnson. He invented the Band-Aid. His wife, josephine would keep cutting herself in the kitchen. Seeing this, he decided on a quickfix. So he put together some cotton on a piece of sello tape so that she could bandage itself. And that little indispensible thing called a band-aid was born.
