Why Choose Kleen Sterile Stretch Bandages for Your First Aid Kits?

In an emergency, the ability of the material to adapt to the patient's morphology is crucial. By choosing the 3-inch Kleen gauze roll, you benefit from a fabric that stretches to conform to joints like the elbow or knee without slipping or bunching. Its sterile nature is a major asset: it can be used in direct contact with a clean wound or serve as an ultra-hygienic outer fixation layer. Its specific weave allows for excellent air circulation, which helps keep the skin around the wound healthy while absorbing excess fluids. It is the tool of choice for workplace first-aiders and healthcare professionals who demand reliable products that meet Canadian safety standards.

Features of the Kleen 3 in x 12 ft (7.6 cm x 3.6 m) Gauze Roll

• Individual Sterility: Each roll is protected by a hermetic pouch to guarantee germ-free application.

• Versatile Width: The 3-inch format is suitable for most adult limbs and wide extremities.

• Controlled Elasticity: Provides flexible support that does not restrict mobility or circulation.

• Sold Individually: Ideal for completing a specific first aid kit without excessive purchasing.

• Soft and Absorbent Fabric: Minimizes adherence to the wound and improves comfort during removal.

How to Install and Use Your Kleen Sterile Bandage

Application must be done aseptically. Open the Kleen packaging carefully. Secure the end of the bandage to the limb, then perform several spiral rotations, overlapping each previous turn by approximately 50%. The stretch property of the bandage allows for light compression if necessary to stabilize an area. Finish by securing with medical adhesive tape or bandage clips. Ensure the patient maintains normal sensitivity in the extremity of the limb after application.

How to Maintain Your Sterile Gauze Supply

To ensure the effectiveness of sterilization, store your Kleen gauze rolls in a dry place away from direct sunlight. The individual pouches are robust but should not be compressed under heavy objects to avoid micro-punctures. Regularly check the expiration date on the packaging. Damaged packaging means the gauze is no longer sterile; in this case, use it only as a non-sterile support bandage or replace it.

Usage Tips for Professional Care

Always use this 3-inch roll over a primary sterile compress for wounds with heavy exudate to maximize absorption. If treating a minor sprain, this stretch bandage can also serve as temporary support. This product is strictly for single use. Once the dressing is removed, discard the gauze according to your facility's hygiene protocols.

FAQ Regarding 3-inch Kleen Sterile Gauze Rolls

Can this bandage be used on a child?

Yes, its 3-inch width is perfectly suited for wrapping a child's leg or arm, providing quick and stable coverage.

What is the actual length of the bandage when stretched?

The 12-foot (3.6 m) length generally refers to the length of the bandage in its stretched state, allowing it to cover a significant area despite the compactness of the initial roll.

Can this bandage replace a "Tensor" type elastic bandage?

While stretchable, Kleen gauze is designed for protection and dressing fixation. For strong orthopedic support (severe sprain), a stiffer reusable elastic bandage is preferred.
