This an Ace bandage. It will allow one to keep gauze and bandages in place while walking around. Ace is actually a brand name but there are many brands available and they are all similar. If you happen to be allergic to latex they make non-latex wraps as well. I always wear one when I go outdoors. It does a great job staying in place and keeping my wound secure and covered. I don't wear these while indoors because they don't work to well with the Telfas, the non sticking bandages made by Tyco.
Since these are made of fabric they can be reused, just remember to wash them. They dry out hanging from my shower curtain rod after about four hours. I guess one could put them into a washing machine and dryer but I have never done it.
They shouldn't cost that much. I bought a few from a supply store in NYC and they cost $7 each. I found a merchant online that sells the exact same wrap for $0.89 ! I bought two boxes (10 per a box) so that I know I'll always have one on hand.
