ABSTRACT:
A waterproof fabric sleeve or cover for a human limb has a cuff which can be wrapped tightly around the limb. To the inside surface of the cuff is affixed a circumferentially elongated fitting of resilient material thicker at its mid-section than at its ends and having a transverse groove at its mid-section dimensioned to hold an intravenous feeding tube. The groove is open at its inside surface an amount less than its greatest diameter. The sleeve is positioned on the limb so that the intravenous tube fits into the groove and the cuff is wrapped tightly enough to seal it to the limb. The fitting is positioned with a margin of the cuff on each side and the cuff margins seal it to the limb when the intravenous tube is removed.
