Morphology
The sense 'a bandage in rolled/cylindrical form' is directly derivable from combining 'roller' (a cylinder for rolling) with 'bandage' (material used to cover wounds). This noun-noun compositional pattern is transparent and common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should understand the meaning.
Etymology
Roller bandage is named for a simple image: it is a long cloth bandage that has been rolled up like a roller. So it is a bandage you unroll to 'cover' a wound or 'support' an injured part.
