Hmmm . . . if I knew what a Plaster was, I could tell you.
I wondered if "band-aid" (oops, trademarked, should be Band-Aid) was going to translate across the pond. Non Band-Aid companies call them "adhesive bandages," and they're basically a 3-inch strip of beige tape with a 3/4 inch piece of flat gauze stuck on it for small wounds. Sound like a plaster?
"Band-Aid" is the brand name of a specific company, but most people call them band-aids no matter who makes them. Like "Kleenex" (facial tissues/snot rags) and Xerox (photocopy).
