ABSTRACT:
A bandage for protecting the skin of an infant's stomach surrounding an umbilical cord stump from the irritating effects of medicinal solutions. The bandage is substantially flat and has an absorbent upper surface, a substantially nonabsorbent lower surface, and a circular central cutout wherefrom the umbilical cord stump may be extended. The bandage has a flap closure portion comprising a bottom flap and an overlapping top flap. The top flap has adhesive on its lower surface whereby the top flap maybe attached to the bottom flap. In use, the bandage is placed on the infant's stomach with the umbilical cord stump extending therefrom. Then, the lower surface of the top flap is attached to the underlying bottom flap. With the protective bandage in place, a variety of solutions may be applied to the umbilical cord stump without irritating the sensitive skin of the infant's stomach.
