Waterproof and transparent wound barrier and method of manufacturing same

A method for covering a wound site, the method comprising:

• obtaining a wound barrier comprising,
• a backing layer comprising an underside and a top surface;
• a casting sheet removably attached to the top surface of the backing layer;
• an adhesive layer on the underside of the backing layer;
• an adhesive deadening layer disposed over a portion of the adhesive layer, such that the adhesive deadening layer defines a non-adhesive area surrounded by an adhesive border that is substantially at the periphery of the backing layer;
• applying the adhesive border to the skin, wherein the non-adhesive area is over the wound site and the adhesive border surrounds the wound site.
