ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a skin wound protector (14). The skin wound protector (14) protects a wound (12) from contact with solid objects and includes a substantially planar peripheral region (18) having top and bottom sides with adhesive (17) on the bottom for securing the protector to an area surrounding the wound, and a deformable interior region (16) which rises above the peripheral region (18) top side to form a hollow cavity such that, when the adhesive is secured to the area surrounding the wound, the wound resides within the cavity and is isolated from contact by solid objects. The protector can be of unitary or multiple-piece construction and can fabricated out of air-permeable, air-impermeable, clear or opaque plastic. The hollow cavity is generally dome-shaped and can further contain a medicating fluid (13) for treating the wound.
