Bandage bag

A method of using a bandage bag to contain associated medical apparatus and to form a waterproof bandage over an associated catheter insertion site on an associated arm, comprising:

• providing a bandage bag comprising:
• a bag having an opening along a superior edge;
• a first adhesive layer disposed on an exterior anterior face of the bag along a first lateral edge, an inferior edge, and a second lateral edge of the bag;
• and
• a second adhesive layer disposed on an exterior posterior face of the bag along the superior edge of the bag;
• attaching the bandage bag near the associated catheter insertion site with the second adhesive layer to the associated arm;
• containing the associated medical apparatus inside the bag;
• folding the bag across a horizontal axis such that the associated catheter insertion site is covered by the exterior anterior face of the bandage bag;
• and
• forming a waterproof bandage by attaching the bandage bag with the first adhesive layer to the associated arm.

• a bag having an opening along a superior edge;
• a first adhesive layer disposed on an exterior anterior face of the bag along a first lateral edge, an inferior edge, and a second lateral edge of the bag;
• a second adhesive layer disposed on an exterior posterior face of the bag along the superior edge of the bag;
• and
• two wings, wherein each wing is located on the exterior posterior face along the superior edge and has a third adhesive layer disposed on one side of the wing;
• wherein one wing is attached to the first lateral edge and the other wing is attached to the second lateral edge such that each wing can be pivoted to extend laterally from the bag or to cover at least a portion of the second adhesive layer, the second adhesive layer being useful for attaching the bag to a patient.
