At the beginning of the 20th century, Mrs. El Dixon was just married and had no experience in cooking. She often cut her hands or burned herself in the kitchen. El Dixon was working in a company that produces surgical bandages, and he will soon be able to bandage his wife proficiently. He thought, if there is a kind of bandage, when the wife is injured and no one can help, it would be great if she can bandage herself.
So he began to experiment. He considered that if the gauze and bandage were made together, he could use one hand to bandage the wound. He took a piece of gauze and placed it on the table, applied glue on it, then folded the other gauze into a gauze pad and placed it in the middle of the bandage. But there is a problem. The viscose used for this kind of bandage will dry if exposed to the air for a long time. Dixon tried many different fabrics to cover the tape, hoping to find a material that would not be difficult to remove when needed. Later he discovered that there is a kind of coarse gauze that can accomplish this task well. After the company's improvement, it can be widely used.
