Kerlix brand is an ELASTIC cotton only gauze bandage which will adhere to itself a little. A plain gauze "roller" is inelastic gauze and much cheaper. Either can be ordered in bulk or indiv. sterile. The standard for kits is the individual sterile.

Woven gauze requires force to remove, and it can potentially lead to wound trauma and/or mechanical debridement. Residue left behind from woven gauze may allow the body to respond with granuloma formation. Kerlix Gauze ® (Coviden, Mansfield, MA), or rolled gauze, should be applied without tension to prevent a tourniquet-like effect of tissues.

Conforming bandages are very stretchy and, as their name suggests, conform closely to the body’s contours. These bandages are ideal for securing dressings in place, particularly on limbs. These bandages are lightweight, fray-resistant and breathable.

When order says "gauze roll," then you can interchange. However, If you have a wound care formulary, then the nurse is free to choose a product within that guide. I have found Kling to be less absorptive, but most importantly, it tends to shed fibers, whereas Kerlix does not.

Non-Sterile Stretch Conforming Gauze (Kling) is an absorbent gauze roll that stretches and conforms to your body shape before clinging to itself as it wraps. This bandage conforms to the wound and allows for body movement while also providing flexibility.
