ABSTRACT:
A roll of sheet material is disclosed for use in medical and/or athletic wrapping of a body part. The roll includes a hollow, cylindrical, core with a sheet of plastic film wound thereupon. The axial dimensions of the core and film are limited so that the core and the film can be supported in an open hand between the thumb and the middle and ring fingers, and between the index finger and the little finger. The method of wrapping the body part includes wrapping the film from the core around the body part by moving the roll from a first location to a second location with one hand, transferring the roll from that hand to the second hand such that the second hand engages the roll between the thumb and the middle finger at opposite axial ends, continuing wrapping the body part by moving the second hand with the roll partially around the body part back to the first location, at which point the roll is transferred to the first hand. The roll is held in the first hand such that the roll is supported between the thumb and the middle and ring fingers, and with the index finger and the little finger engaging opposite axial ends of the core.
