ABSTRACT:
The specification discloses a cover for protecting a hospital operating room tourniquet. A thin sheet (12) is formed from flexible, liquid impervious material and has a length sufficient to be wrapped around the limb of a patient. A pad (14) is formed along one side of the sheet in order to be wrapped around the patient's limb to perform cushioning thereto. A fastener (26-28) is attached to one edge of the sheet and is attached to another portion of the sheet in order to maintain the sheet in the desired position about the patient's limb such that a tourniquet can be placed thereover. The sheet has a width wider than the tourniquet such that a portion of the flexible sheet may be folded over the tourniquet to cover and shield the tourniquet from moisture and contamination.
