Intravenous protecting device

A device for protecting an intravenous site and catheter during intravenous infusion comprising a water proof protective flexible wrap wherein said wrap comprises an inner surface, an outer surface, a width and a length wherein said inner surface contains a sterile portion for placement over the situs of the intravenous infusion and wherein the length is sufficient to wrap around the limb of an individual receiving the intravenous infusion and overlap said intravenous site at least once and wherein the width is sufficient to cover the area adjacent the intravenous site to a degree sufficient to preclude water from entering the intravenous site from the side of said wrap when said wrap is in use, and wherein said wrap contains a slit through both said inner and outer surfaces from one edge of said width to an opening within the bounds of the sterile portion of the inner surface and of sufficient dimensions to allow an intravenous tube connected to said catheter to pass through said opening, said wrap further comprising a intravenous tube retainer on said outer surface.
