Seamless tubular gauze bandage, with or without elastic, is a superior material for covering round narrow surfaces such as fingers or toes. It can be used as a dressing if the gauze material is sterile or as a bandage. Elastic bandages are excellent for bandaging the hand and wrist and the foot and ankle. Plain roller gauze is seldom used. It is difficult to handle, has no elasticity, and tends to bind. It also tends to slip, because it does not adhere to itself. Wrinkled crepe-type roller bandages (e.g., Kling) are preferred, because they easily conform to various shapes of the body and adhere to themselves.
