D&H Medical Pack of 24 Gauze Bandage Roll 4 Inches x 4 Yards - Medical Gauze Wrap for Wounds Care - Easy to Use Cotton Gauze Rolls for Hand Wrap Dressing Ankles & Knees

I like to write. I think i'm pretty good at it, and so here i am, even though I haven't received this gauze yet. After reading the product description, which was written pretty close to exactly how i would have written it myself if i genuinely believed in my product's superior qualities vs. all other "similar" products in the entire world as the writer of this product description obviously is, i can't wait to receive these gauze rolls! I'm already confident that these things are going to be perfect for my end of the world as we know it medical bag.In the pyramid-looking picture of the rolls, they look like super-comfy clouds. I'm gunna wrap one around the other 23 and use it as a pillow! Just look at the percentages on the reviews on here, there's no point in even writing a review! I'm just kidding though, about making a pillow out of it. I'm sure it'll end up wrapped around a large 3rd degree burned arm or something, maybe a gaping slice in my own thigh..but they would be comfy used as a pillow, seriously. Especially for Ant-man.It would seem that my search for the perfect stretch bandage gauze is over! And pillow search too.Will update my review when the rolls have arrived.Update: It was dark and dismal outside when the drenched UPS man brought me the gauze that i ordered from D&H. With as much caution as i could muster, i began to rabidly and excitedly tear open the box with heavy anticipation. Random sections of the product description had been swimming around aimlessly in my mind for a couple of days, causing me to have very, very high expectations for these individually wrapped/sterile gauze rolls which would hopefully make the cut for my post-apocalyptic emergency medical supplies bag. To my surprise, they appeared exactly as the product photos by D&H! I've had some bad experiences lately with Amazon affiliated vendors, and so i do admit to seeing through a type of pessimistic looking glass when opening my Amazon boxes these days... Alas, despite recent past experiences, I am happy to report to you who is reading my comprehensive review that i am very pleased with my purchase, and quite relieved.Down to business. 24 individually wrapped gauze rolls inside of a single plastic bag w/resealable top (see photo 2) is what i discovered inside of the shipping box. The wrapping that contains each gauze roll is comparable to the plastic wrapping in which you could expect to find an individually wrapped blueberry muffin from a convenience store (see photo 3). Each one is air tight, making for a 100% dry & sterile environment for them to live in (see photo 1). Having inspected one roll only so as not to waste them, i can confidently attest to the fact that they're perfectly adequate and just as good, if not better, than any hospital or EMT preferred gauze roll i have used in the past. They're solid, not cheaply put together, soft, neat & sterile. A valuable asset to any medical kit. Not that it is a recommended method when compared to an elastic bandage, but if done right, you could even use a couple of these little quality rolls on a sprain. They're tough.Tip for filling a wound (i.e. gunshot): stick your finger into the swirly center of the roll (preferably bigger than these when used for filling a gunshot wound), pushing the "cone" out of the other end, grab the tip of the cone and pull on it. It will provide a perfectly shaped snake for filling in a deep wound, if necessary. Again, if it's a pretty bad, gaping wound, you'll want a much larger roll of gauze so that the "snake" which is pulled out of the center is much fatter. Say, about 3/4" in diameter. 1/2" would be okay. BTW, i'm not a doctor! But i am what's called a "prepper" or "survivalist", if you will, and have been for a very long time. I didn't go to med school. I went to life school.Thanks D&H for the gauze. Great price, great product, and most importantly, exactly as described. I hope i don't have to use this stuff in too many emergency situations, but i am very happy to know that it will perform exactly how it should, and that it'll be there, still sterile, when i need it to be.To the author of the product description: You write very, very well. Very good article, packed full of useful and descriptive content. I especially like the last part about telling your friends about the product. I wish that i had a writer of your caliber to help me keep up with the amount of fact-based, descriptive, humorous content that i need to publish. By the time i finished reading it, it was as though i had written it myself. Well done! As somebody who likes to read & write, it was enjoyable to read. You're a rare breed! Keep it up!

Due to a rare autoimmune disease attacking my cartilage I've had to have my keep my head, specifically my left ear, wrapped in gauze for over six months now. (I'm finally scheduled to have my ear removed in February and fitted for a prosthetic) I've used three to five rolls a gauze a day that entire time. I've tried multiple brands of gauze and tape combinations. During this time I've become extremely frustrated by the near universality of the inability of surgical tapes of all brands to effectively attach to any rolled gauze. Due to my need for so much gauze and tape I have inadvertently conducted a kind of non-scientific testing of different tapes and rolled gauze, I'll admit, originally I was not looking for the highest quality gauze and an effective tape to hold it; I was shopping by price. However, as time passed it was impossible not to become aware of the fact that nearly every brand of surgical tape effectively attached and stayed attached to D&H stretch gauze, which had not been the case with all the other brands of gauze I'd tried. One would expect, at least I myself did, that it was only natural for tape designed to attach to gauze would attach to any brand of gauze. Apparently, that was an unwarranted assumption. I can say every other brand of gauze I bought based on my own recollections, (as I previously said I wasn't keeping scientific records), seemed unable to keep a bond with surgical tape. The tape would just randomly fall off my bandages for no reason. For months now I've seen tape just fall in front of my eyes like a feather in free fall, just slowly waft downward before my eyes. This, of course, would require a repair, often at the most inconvenient time and inconvenient places. The exception has been the D&H brand of tape. it does not seem to have the same problem, I'm not sure how or why but D&H is different. When I wrap my head up in fresh bandages in the morning I use two; inch and a half snips of tape to hold it in place and it stays fast until it's time to rewrap it with fresh bandages and gauze. I often buy gauze 72 rolls at a time and I no longer switch brands to save a few cents here and there D&H is always one of the three most affordable brands anyhow. It is the only brand I purchase anymore I'm not exaggerating about how much time I spent and tape I've wasted reattaching tape to other brands of gauze. If you're unsure what to buy as this is the first time you need to buy gauze by the case get the D&H if you've bought gauze by the case before you know what I mean about the tape issue. D&H is the way to go. End that extra frustration because let's face it if you're buying this much gauze you have enough frustration in your life already. While I've focused on how well tape sticks to D&H bandages as that has been the thing that has bothered me no end this past year it should also be mentioned that this gauze is stronger and of a thinker weave than other brands. With other brands if for some reason you need to adjust the gauze by say unwrapping a bit a bit either to loosen or tighten it the gauze has almost certainly been damaged, mishappened or torn. You attempt to save it but as you rewrap it you are faced with the inescapable reality that the gauze it to damaged to save. This means unwrapping the whole thing, throwing it away and starting the tedious process again with a brand new roll. Not so with D&H. If an adjustment is needed as so often is the case as swelling, inflammation and general sensitivity of wound change throughout the day. When I need to loosen my wrappings to relieve some pressure I can do just that. Unwrap a few times around my head then re-wrap it as needed with the gauze still strong and sturdy which mean no need to go back to square one.They are individually wrapped but do not say sterile, I place sterile wound pads directly against my wound and use the gauze to hold them in place. I'm even wearing gauze my new state id card the absurdity of which added some much-needed hilarity to my situation.The rolls arrive in large plastic bags very neat and orderly, I've included a picture of my latest order to arrive; four bags of twenty-four rolls.

Works well and looks good.
