Why you’d want it: A finger on a gauze square only works for a minute. A strip of tape holds it while you get on with putting things away.
Picking tip: 3M Micropore is the one to copy: paper, not plastic, and it tears by hand. The 1-inch (2.5 cm) width is right for holding a gauze square; wider rolls are for dressings. One roll lasts a year.
