Disclosed is a bandage pad of any of a variety of geometric shapes, used to cover a surgically-incised body area wherein shunt tubing, a catheter, or similar device protrudes from the body area. The bandage pad protects the subject area from infection which conceivably could be caused by contact with soapy, and/or contaminated water while the patient is showering or bathing. The bandage pad comprises a pliable, rigid, or semi-rigid shell-like cover having a convex outer surface, with an absorbent, cushioned material permanently attached to the inner surface of the shell. A continuous flange forms the outer edge of the shell-like cover, said flange having an adhesive-coated material covering its inner surface. The adhesive-coated material thereby enables adherence of the bandage pad to a patient's skin. |
