Kendall Conform Stretch Gauze Bandage 3 Inch x 75 Inch Sterile Box of 12

Stretch gauze bandages are used to secure wound dressings, provide light compression, and protect wounds during healing — and their effectiveness depends on how well they conform to the body area being wrapped. The Kendall Conform Stretch Gauze is a one-ply cotton/polyester blend crocheted bandage that provides softness, conformability, low lint, and high absorbency in a single roll. The crocheted construction allows the bandage to stretch and conform to any body contour, holding securely in place with minimal taping. Sterile, packaged individually in a soft pouch. 3" wide, 4.1 yards stretched (75" relaxed length). Box of 12 rolls.

Ideal For

• Securing primary wound dressings on irregular body surfaces — joints, extremities, and other contoured areas where a conformable bandage is needed to hold the dressing in place

• Home wound care where a sterile, individually packaged stretch gauze roll is needed for dressing changes between clinical visits

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a crocheted gauze bandage and how does it differ from woven gauze?
Crocheted gauze is made using an interlocking loop construction — similar to knitting — rather than the over-under weave of traditional woven gauze. The crocheted construction gives the bandage its stretch and conformability, allowing it to elongate and wrap around curved body surfaces without bunching or creating pressure points. Woven gauze has less inherent stretch and may require more taping or pinning to stay in place on contoured areas. The crocheted construction also contributes to the softness and low-lint properties of the Conform bandage, making it more comfortable against the skin and less likely to leave fiber residue in the wound during dressing changes.

What does sterile in soft pouch mean?
Each roll of Conform Stretch Gauze is individually sterilized and packaged in a soft, flexible pouch that maintains sterility until the pouch is opened. The soft pouch packaging is more flexible and compact than rigid blister packaging, making it easier to store and handle in clinical settings. The sterile packaging ensures the bandage is free of microorganisms at the time of use, which is important for wound care applications where introducing bacteria to the wound or dressing could cause infection. Once the pouch is opened, the bandage should be used promptly and the unused portion should not be re-sterilized.

How does this bandage stay in place with minimal taping?
The crocheted construction of the Conform bandage creates a slightly textured surface that grips itself and the underlying dressing when wrapped. As each layer of the bandage is applied over the previous layer, the interlocking loops of the crocheted fabric create friction that holds the layers together without adhesive. This self-adherent quality means the bandage can often be secured with a small piece of tape at the end rather than requiring tape along the entire length of the wrap. The conformability of the bandage also helps it stay in place by following the contours of the body rather than lifting away from curved surfaces.

What is the difference between the relaxed length and the stretched length?
The relaxed length (75") is the length of the bandage when it is not under tension — the length as it comes off the roll without stretching. The stretched length (4.1 yards, approximately 148") is the maximum length the bandage can reach when fully extended. In practice, the bandage is applied with moderate tension — not fully relaxed and not fully stretched — so the effective coverage length during application falls between the two measurements. The relaxed length is the more useful reference for estimating how much bandage is available per roll for a given application.
