Abstract:
A protective covering for a site on a body part and a method of deploying the same are provided. The protective covering comprises a generally rectangular shaped strip of a waterproof material having first and second lateral edges defined between first and second end edges, a first and second surfaces, a first adhesive portion on the first surface located along the first lateral edge proximate to the first end edge, and a second adhesive portion on the first surface located along the second lateral edge proximate to the second end edge. The protective covering is wrapped a plurality of times in a partially self-overlapping manner around the body part to prevent water penetration to the site with the first surface in contact with the body part and the adhesive portions contacted to the body part to create a pair of adhesive watertight seals above and below the site.
