<p>A protective cover (10) is used to surround one or more elongated members such as a plurality of intravenous lines (16). The cover (10) preferably assumes the form of a generally cylindrical hollow tube composed of a flexible, resilient material such as closed-cell foam. The tube includes a slit (18) running lengthwise down the tube, enabling the tube to be placed around and over the at least one elongated member (16) by spreading the slit (18) to expose a pair of adjacent, opposing surfaces (28, 30). In one configuration, the means for maintaining the tube in position includes an adhesive (40) on one or both of the opposing surfaces (28, 30) of the slit (18).</p> |
