What exactly is SteriRoll®?

SteriRoll® is a sterilized, ready-to-use cotton combine bandage made for wrapping the legs or injuries of the equine athlete. Each roll is manufactured from heavy, medical-grade cotton wrapped in a soft, nonwoven outer covering that delivers excellent padding and absorbency. Unlike bulk material you must cut and prep yourself, every SteriRoll® comes pre-cut and individually packaged so it is ready to apply straight from the wrapper.

How does the gamma-radiation sterilization work?

Every SteriRoll® bandage is sterilized by gamma radiation, which The Franklin-Williams Company calls the most effective and efficient method for sterilizing medical devices. As proof of treatment, each package carries a radiation-exposure sticker that confirms the bandage inside has been fully sterilized. That sterile assurance, paired with rugged, easy-to-open packaging, makes SteriRoll® a reliable choice for post-surgical and open-wound dressing where contamination control matters most.

What materials go into every roll?

Cotton is the major component, and Franklin-Williams uses medical-grade cotton that is controlled for both weight and bioburden, grown and processed in the USA. Quality is held to defined raw-material specifications and continuous manufacturing inspections, so each roll delivers consistent loft and absorbency. The soft, nonwoven facing keeps the cotton in place against the leg while letting the dressing breathe.
