So can these. Into two parts, IIRC.

I didn't exactly shop for them. I had them as dressings after some
surgery left a huge hole in my abdomen that had to be dressed with wound
gel and this gauze stuff. The hospital gave me this enormous package the
size of a loaf of bread and I still have a large portion left over.
