ABSTRACT:
An eight ply surgical wrap used for wrapping over and around a bandage to secure it in place, after it has been applied to a patients limb. The surgical wrap is formed from a single ply gauze fabric which is first bleached and washed, then folded into a four ply and then the fabric is overfed into a hot bath which agitates the fabric to make the yarns absorbent, fluffy, and elastic. The fabric is then passed through embossing rolls. The hot bath and the embossing roll causes the yarns to distort into an oblique and serpentine arrangement. The four ply fabric is then folded in a series of folds to create an eight ply fabric, that is highly absorbent, and because of the manner in which the fabric is folded, the surgical wrap is free of exposed selvege edges eliminating any chance of the selvege edges forming or causing a binding effect in the wrap.
