The SurgiTube Tubular Cotton Gauze – Model GL243 is a non‑sterile, seamless tubular bandage crafted from 100% cotton yarn. Sized approximately 1.5″ wide × 50 yards, this gauze is ideal for securing primary dressings on hands, feet, forearms, lower legs, and shoulders without tape or applicator. Its tight continuous knit resists unraveling and allows clean trimming, while delivering reliable retention and a comfortable fit.
Designed for use without an applicator, the GL243 features a heavier knit yet remains easy to slip over limbs for consistent compression. It is latex‑free and supports maximum airflow, making it suitable for patients with sensitive skin and long-term wear.
