A wound/bandage protector with a wound facing side and a non-wound facing side, comprising:
- a body portion configured as a wrap having a first end and a second end;
- a first-catch fastener on the non-wound facing side of the body portion proximal to the first end of the body portion configured to fasten with the wound facing side of the wound/bandage protector;
- a final fastener on the wound facing side of the wound/bandage protector proximal to the second end of the body portion configured to fasten with the non-wound facing side of the wound/bandage protector, wherein the first catch fastener and the final fastener are configured to fasten to the wound/bandage protector other than through each other;
- and
- an accessory holder that is detachable from the wound/bandage protector, and having a first surface having a first material, a second surface having a second material, and a loop forming element configured to form a loop around a tube,
- wherein the first surface having the first material is configured to fasten with the wound/bandage protector, and a portion of the second surface having the second material is configured to contact and grip the tube upon the loop forming element forming the loop around the tube,
- wherein the wound/bandage protector is configured to be wrapped around a limb, and the loop formed around the tube is the only loop formed by the accessory holder while the accessory holder is fastened with the wound/bandage protector and wrapped around the limb,
- wherein the loop forming element is configured to form the loop around the tube or a wire.
A wound/bandage protector comprising:
- a. a body configured as a sock/mitten having a first end that is open, a second end that is closed, an internal wound facing side, and an external non-wound facing side;
- and
- b. a fastening strap attached to the body and having a wound facing side and a non-wound facing side,
- wherein a non-slip grip material is disposed on the internal wound facing side of the body,
- wherein the fastening strap extends entirely or partially around the external non-wound facing side of the body and fastens to at least one of the external non-wound facing side of the body and the non-wound facing side of the fastening strap upon the fastening strap being wrapped around a limb and fastened,
- wherein the non-slip grip material is adapted to contact the limb upon the fastening strap being wrapped around the limb and fastened,
- wherein the fastening strap is attached to the body at an attachment region, and the attachment region is a dead zone that is not stretchable.
A wound/bandage protector, comprising:
- a. a body comprised of stretchable material configured as a sock/mitten having a first end that is open, a second end that is closed, an internal wound facing side, an external non-wound facing side, and a slit proximate to the first end;
- and
- b. a strap having an internal portion and an external portion, the internal portion being partially or completely attached to the internal wound facing side of the body that is partially or completely configured as a non-slip grip surface on a wound facing side of the strap and the external portion configured to extend through the slit, extend entirely or partially around the external non-wound facing side of the body and fasten to the external non-wound facing side of the body and/or a non-wound facing side of the strap,
- wherein the slit on the body extends to the first end and a top edge of the internal portion of the strap does not extend to the first end of the body thereby forming a flap-over portion.
