Huh?

[Elaina]

So shouldn't Tomísimo's dictionary make the distinction since apparently there is one?

And in reality, a bandaid is not an "esparadrapo". It sounds like esparadrapo is the adhesive brown bandage that is placed over the gauze bandage to keep it in place.

I have seen some square adhesive bandages that are used but these still need something over them to keep them from falling off. Then there are "steri-strips" which are small, white, adhesive strips that are placed directly on the skin to kind of "hold it together" after surgery. Sometimes staples are used and when these are removed then steri-strips are placed over the incision.

Or if the person has had some type of "laparoscopic" surgery they would use these steri-strips.........when they are removed, then they place "a bandaid".

So you see, I think the dictionary should reflect a differentiation.

I agree, Elaina.
(And while I had to clear in Wikipedia what "laparoscopic surgery" means... I vote for it too!)

Greek laparos = soft. Methinks someone is a technical translator...

Your technical method is singularly complete.
