Earle Dickson was granted a patent for his invention of the adhesive bandage on July 21, 1920, under U.S. Patent No. 1,584,145. His design included a strip of gauze attached to a long, flexible piece of adhesive tape, which allowed for easier application and use. This invention eventually led to the popularization of Band-Aid brand adhesive bandages.
