Abstract
Cast and bandage protector that avoids use of a separate sealing ring and therefore can be folded over upon itself, has suitability for convenient packaging and at the same time still provides an effective waterproof sealing arrangement.
Claims8

- a flexible sleeve of water proof material closed at one end and open at the other end;
- said open other end having a flexible and stretchable rubber diaphragm of a different material than the bandage protector sealingly and adhesively attached to it;
- said flexible sleeve being configured to provide pull tabs alongside the rubber diaphragm and a widened area to accommodate up to 90° bends at covered joint areas, such as elbows, ankles and knees.
