Hello!

GWDE suggests gipsa bandaĝo.

Edit: deleted "plastro" (means sticking plasterridulo.gif

CEED also has muldaĵo but I don't like that so much.

And let me just add for the benefit of our American audience, that a "sticking plaster" or a "plaster" ("plastro" in Esperanto) is actually a band-aid.

A translation that tries to be short is liable to focus on part of the meaning (like being of plaster) and leave out the other part (like being a mould), making the context essential.

An addition to the good suggestions already made might be gipsa tego (or kovraĵo).
