ABSTRACT:
The present protector includes a tubular sleeve which is stretchable in both longitudinal and circumferential directions and is adapted to provide a snug fit over the arm or foot of the patient and a pad carried by the sleeve. The pad is of substantially U-shaped transverse cross-sectional configuration and substantially V-shaped longitudinal cross-sectional configuration so as to receive and cushion the patient's elbow or heel therein. The pad includes a pair of opposite side panels defining opposite sides of the U-shaped transverse cross-sectional configuration and a pair of superpositioned substantially rectangular bottom panels providing additional padding in the central portion and defining the V-shaped longitudinal cross-sectional configuration. The lower edges of the the side panels are seamed to the corresponding opposite sides of the lowermost of the superpositioned bottom panels with the opposite sides of the uppermost of the bottom panels being free of connection and covering the seams to prevent contact of the seams with the patient.
