# Snap-On Sanitary Plasters This Ointment Bandage Pops a Disinfectant Capsule Onto Your Injury By Amelia Roblin | Published 2015-01-06 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ointment-bandage References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2014/12/23/band-aid-pop/) With the goal of better preventing infection to small injuries, the creators of this ointment bandage included an antiseptic substance within the padding of their Pop Band-Aid. Chang Min Jeong, Byun Ji Hyun, Yun So Hyeon and Hong Myung Jik are very much concerned with contamination, encouraging them to overhaul the entire packaging of the [standard plaster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bandaid-brand). Once stuck to the skin around a cut or a scrape, this ointment bandage looks pretty typical. The hidden benefits to this First Aid concept, however, are healing cream and germicide that are embedded in a delicate capsule within the cotton pad. The stiff sleeve of the Pop Band-Aid must be snapped to open, causing the ointment to push through the pad's surface. You then apply the dressing while holding the case to avoid dirtying the adhesive. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Antiseptic Bandages:** Opportunity to develop bandages with embedded antiseptic substances for better infection prevention. - **Innovative First Aid Packaging:** Opportunity to revamp the packaging of standard plasters to include additional features or benefits. - **Disinfectant Capsule Technology:** Opportunity to explore the use of capsules to deliver disinfectant or healing agents in various medical applications. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Healthcare:** Opportunity for healthcare companies to develop and market advanced wound care products with embedded antiseptic substances. - **Consumer Goods:** Opportunity for consumer goods companies to create innovative first aid packaging solutions that enhance user experience and functionality. - **Pharmaceuticals:** Opportunity for pharmaceutical companies to explore and invest in disinfectant capsule technology for controlled and targeted drug delivery in medical treatments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fruit-Adorned Adhesive Bandages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adhesive-bandage.md) - [Durable Water-Friendly Bandages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterproof-clear-adhesive-bandages.md) - [Waterproof Color-Changing Bandages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drysee-bandages.md) - [AI-Enabled Smart Bandages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-smart-bandages.md) - [Connected Monitoring Bandages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wound-bandage.md) - [Aloe-Infused Bandages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aloe-vera-infused-bandages.md) - [Artful Bandage Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-met-x-bandaid.md) - [Child-Focused First-Aid Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/welly-products.md) - [Plant-Powered First-Aid Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-better-co.md)
