ABSTRACT:
A water impervious covering for extremities is described. The covering is intended to protect a bandage or cast portion of the extremity during bathing or the like. The covering is a sack-like member having an upper lip extending above the opening in the covering. The lip has a laterally extending perforation parallel to the opening extending approximately four-fifths of the width thereof. An adhesive strip extends the entire width of the lip from one side to the other. The adhesive strip is covered with a protective removable sheet. In use, the perforation is torn to separate the lip into a tie member and a securing member. The adhesive protective sheet is then removed and the extremity inserted into the sack-like covering. The securing portion then is adhered to the surface of the extremity and the opening gathered around the extremity so that the tie member may be used to encircle the gathering and thereby secure the covering to the extremity.
