How to say "band-aid" in Japanese

• バンドエイド
  nounThe Band-Aid brand name, which also does duty for small adhesive bandages in general. Use it for the brand itself or for an ordinary small sticking plaster.
  バンドエイドと薬くすりをください。↗

  Could you send up a Band-Aid and some medicine?
• 絆創膏ばんそうこう
  nounThe plain word for an adhesive bandage or sticking plaster, with no brand attached. For the everyday sense of 'band-aid' — a small dressing over a cut — this is the word to use.
  母ははは傷口きずぐちにばんそうこうをつけてくれた。↗

  Mom applied the plaster to the cut.
• カットバン
  nounA brand name for a pre-cut adhesive plaster. It is really the name of that product, so reach for 絆創膏 when you just mean an ordinary band-aid.
  あ、とりあえず包帯ほうたいしているけど、もし煩わずらわしかったら、家いえに帰かえってからカットバンに代かえても大丈夫だいじょうぶよ。↗

  Ah, well I've bandaged it for the meantime but if that's awkward then it's fine to replace it with a plaster when you get home.
• サビオ
  nounA brand name of adhesive bandages. It fits when that brand's product is meant; for an ordinary band-aid the neutral 絆創膏 is the safer choice.
• リバテープ
  nounA brand name covering adhesive bandages and sticking plasters. Unless that brand is specifically meant, 絆創膏 is the word for an ordinary band-aid; this one is seldom needed for the everyday sense.

絆創膏 is the brand-free word for an adhesive bandage; 「バンドエイド」 is the Band-Aid brand but also serves for small sticking plasters, while 「カットバン」, 「サビオ」 and 「リバテープ」 are other brand names to use when those products are meant.
