Benefits of technology

[0009] An advantage of the present invention is that the material wound on the spool can be closed off from the external environment and thereby minimize the chance for contaminating the rolled material. Another advantage is that the end of the material can be maintained within the window to facilitate dispensing the material.

Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of this form of packaging is that it requires the user to remove the outer package and the overlays before the bandage can be used.
The removed material can be difficult to remove and once removed, must be disposed of.
The removal process can also be an undesirable time consuming process.
