ABSTRACT:
A non-contacting shield for use in the perineal area, comprising a main body maintained a distance from the perineal area by two lateral panels which fold generally perpendicularly relative to the main body. The lateral panels, preferably expanded or padded along the outer portion, are positioned adjacent the inner thighs and occupy the pockets formed by the juncture of the thighs and pelvis. The lateral panels are arcuate and the main body is composed of a flexible material to allow it to conform to the shape of the perineal area.
