Abstract
A protective covering for select areas of the surface anatomy of the body having incisions, wounds, injuries or other delicate features requiring protection from moisture or trauma for limited periods of time during external application of water or aqueous solutions including a waterproof flexible membrane, a window to aid in positioning over the select areas and means for affixing the membrane without adhering to the incisions, wounds, injuries or delicate features requiring protection.
Claims21
A protective covering for select areas of the surface anatomy of the body having incisions, wounds, injuries, or other delicate features requiring protection from moisture during external application of water or aqueous solutions, comprising:
- a flexible membrane providing protection from moisture having rigid or semi-rigid means for viewing across said membrane, said viewing means being sufficiently resistant to deformation to withstand blows without collapsing onto the wound site;
- and
- adhesive for affixing said membrane to the select areas of the surface anatomy of the body with said rigid or semi-rigid means overlying but spaced from the incisions, wounds, injuries, or other delicate features requiring protection from moisture to prevent adherence or injury thereto once the membrane is affixed.
A protective covering for select areas of the surface anatomy of the body having incisions, wounds, injuries, or other delicate features requiring protection comprising:
- a flexible membrane having dome-shaped rigid or semi-rigid means for viewing across said membrane, .said viewing means being sufficiently resistant to deformation to withstand blows without collapsing onto the wound site;
- and
- adhesive for affixing said membrane to the select areas of the surface anatomy of the body with said dome-shaped means positioned above the incisions, wounds, injuries, or other delicate features requiring protection.
