ABSTRACT:
An enclosure for covering extremities or containing material such as trash or other objects or articles is described. The enclosure is a sack-like member having a lip extending above the opening or along a side edge of the sack-like member. The lip includes a perforation extending along a portion of the length thereof, either parallel to the opening or to the side edge. An adhesive strip with a removable covering may extend along the length of the lip at selected portions thereof. In use, the perforation is torn to separate the lip into a tie member and a securing member that remains attached to the sack-like member. In one embodiment, an extremity may be inserted into the sack-like member and the tie member can be used to secure the opening around the extremity. In another embodiment, the tie member can be used to seal the opening of the sack-like member such that the enclosure can be used as a container or receptacle in a desired application. When enclosing or covering an extremity, the enclosure protects a bandage or cast portion of the extremity from water. The enclosure may be sterilized to create a sterile environment within the sack member.
