We carry it (orange 3M Vetwrap) in our personal first aid kits (adjunct to, I should say) in lieu of an Ace bandage. Additional uses - cut to width/length or not - are obvious to anyone who has given blood during the last several years... and I chose orange for us for the same reasons you used it today - go figure! Now, if we only had horses to go with it... seriously, it works great on knees (all I can report on so far - no, not my knees so far, Andy C.!)
