Medical protective cover

A medical protective cover, comprising:

• a dome-shaped rigid shell dimensioned and configured for covering an intravenous access site on a patient's body, including an intravenous catheter left inserted in the patient, the shell being transparent to facilitate visual inspection of an area covered by the shell, the shell being elongated to define a longitudinal axis, the shell having:
• a plurality of ventilation holes formed therein for permitting air passage to dry the covered area;
• a plurality of tubing ports formed in opposite, longitudinal ends of the shell, the tubing ports being adapted for the passage of intravenous infusion tubing therethrough;
• and
• a selectively covered access slot formed on top of the shell, the access slot permitting the passage of a needle therethrough for administration and withdrawal of fluid through the catheter;
• a lid selectively covering the access slot;
• a pair of adhesive tabs extending from opposite longitudinal ends of the shell, each tab having an adhesive side;
• and
• a plurality of adjustable straps extending laterally from the shell, the straps being adapted for at least partially wrapping around the user's body to secure the shell thereon;
• wherein the shell provides impact resistant and contaminant protection over the covered area.
