ABSTRACT:
A protective cover for covering a plaster cast, or the like on a patient, includes an elongated waterproof, flexible, polymer bag having an opening in one end thereof. The open end of the polymer bag has an elastic edge therearound to hold the elongated, waterproof, flexible, polymer bag over a cast on a patient's limb. A small piece of hook and loop material is attached to the flexible bag. An elongated, substantially flat sealing band is made of an elastic, resilient, waterproof foamed polymer material and has hook and loop material attached thereto with the hook material positioned at predetermined positions on one side of the flat sealing band and the other side of the sealing band being covered with a loop. The elongated, waterproof, flexible, polymer bag can be placed over a cast and the elongated, substantially flat sealing band attached on one end to the piece of hook and loop material on the bag and then wrapped around the open end thereof with a multiple, overlapping, ceiled wrap to seal the open end against the intrusion of liquid when the sealing band is stretched for a tight seal and attached with the hook and loop material.
