The adhesive plaster or bandage is used to cover non-serious wound or cut in the skin. It is formed by a basic layer of plain fabric coated with the adhesive material. There are several factors that affect the performance of the produced adhesive bandage.

The peel test is used to determine the force required to remove the bandage from the skin, tissue or other adhesive tape.
