ABSTRACT:
A protector for a wound on a body part has a pouch of waterproof material having at least one open end having an edge and a predetermined width so that the body part with the wound can be inserted into the pouch with the body part extending through the open end and past the edge. An elastic strap has a pair of ends one of which is permanently attached to the pouch adjacent the edge. The strap has a length equal to at least twice the width of the open end. A closure attached to the pouch adjacent the edge can be secured to the strap so that the strap can be wound around the edge to press same against the body part and can be secured to the closure to maintain the edge pressed against the body part.
