Reference for Kelim 28:3

הָעוֹשֶׂה אִסְפְּלָנִית, בֵּין בְּבֶגֶד בֵּין בְּעוֹר, טְהוֹרָה. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, עַל הָעוֹר, טָהוֹר. מְלוּגְמָא, בְּבֶגֶד, טְהוֹרָה, וּבְעוֹר, טְמֵאָה. רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר, אַף בְּבֶגֶד, טְמֵאָה, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהִיא נִנְעָרֶת:

If one makes a bandage, whether of cloth or of leather, it is pure. Rabbi Yose says, regarding leather, that it is pure. Regarding a poultice, with cloth it is pure, and with leather it is [susceptible to becoming] impure. Rabban Shimon ben Gamaliel says: even with cloth it is [susceptible to becoming] impure because it can be shaken off [once it dries, and then appropriated for other uses].
