Wound-dressings, band-aids, mummy or POP bandages are common in Tintin, but are usually nameless.

Which one is given a name ('trademark'), in which album, and on which page?

Any clue, yamilah?

Here is a clue:

This trademark doesn't appear in the speech bubbles (nor in De Abdallah a Zorrino book)!

One more clue: this trademark can be seen on an island.

Is the trademark "Flexoplast" sticking plaster; Captain Haddock uses in "Flight 714" p(32) to shut Rastapopoulos' and Dr. Krollspell's mouth?

Flexoplast:
A strong adhesive bandage used for immobilisation and for holding dressings in place as well as for compression bandaging. Applied over Equiwrap, it provides extra strength and security and helps repel water, dirt and exterior contamination.

Actually the roll or spool reads "PLEKOPLAST" (p.32, frame D1, capitalized), but I think you deserve the point!

One point to kirthiboy then, and his turn to pose the next question.

I guess I read it wrong in a hurry! I was leaving my computer when I figured it out and wanted to post the reply before I left.

Thanks!
