Abstract: The invention concerns an adhesive bandage (10) comprising a support (11) with an adhesive surface (12), a sterile pad (13) arranged on the adhesive surface and a protective film covering the adhesive surface and the sterile pad, which is formed by a first (14) and a second (15) tearaway tab. The first tab (14) is folded back on itself along a folding line (16), outside the sterile pad zone, to define a first flap (17) applied on the adhesive surface from a first end of the support up to the folding line and covering entirely the sterile pad, and a second flap (18) forming a tearing lead for the first flap and extending over the first flap beyond the support first end. The second tab (15) comprises a third flap (19) applied on the adhesive surface from the second end of the support up to the folding line, and a fourth flap (20) forming a tearing lead for the third flap which extends over the first tab from the folding line beyond the support first end.
