When buying soft bandage roll, it is important to consider their size. Soft bandage roll usually have two measurements, the first is width, and the second is length. Width is measured in inches and tells us how wide is the gauze wrap. Wider pieces are ideal for covering larger body areas whereas narrower pieces are ideal for covering smaller body areas like a minor scrape or a hurt finger. Length is measured in yards and tells us how long the roll will be from one end to the other when it is unwound completely.
