Running out of adhesive bandages would never be an issue if the Band-Aid Printer were to go from concept to reality. This design is meant to print out Band-Aids on demand, which means that you'll never have to worry about buying new Band-Aids again. Those without kids and those who did not grow up in a house with small children may not understand just how important it is to always have a stocked box of Band-Aids on deck. The printer allows you to create bandages designed for different parts of the body. No longer will you have to stick a normal Band-Aid across a kneecap.
As great as the Band-Aid Printer would be for solving first-world problems, it would function even better as a solution to third-world problems. One Band-Aid Printer could easily meet the needs of a small town or village. People wouldn't have to depend on aid groups for Band-Aids as they could merely print their own.
