I've used Kerlix for all my medical trauma needs and the product, while pricey, is well worth purchasing in bulk (cheaper that way). While I would not use this directly on a wound (it adheres to the skin and is difficult to remove unless moistened with some type of sterile liquid like normal saline) it's efficient and perfect for wrapping and protecting an open-skin type of injury.My only concern is Amazon is describing the product inaccurately and consumers should read the full description as well as the sizes, length and ply to determine which type meets their need. I purchased this item when it was listed as Kerlix Sterile 6 Ply Gauze Bandage Rolls, 4.5" x 4.1 yards, 60/Cs stored in separate sterile pouches. It has now been changed (due to my complaint) to Kerlix Sterile 8 Ply - 4.5 in x 3.1 yd, 60/Cs in sterile rigid plastic tray. Make sure to check ALL descriptions before final purchase!
