The skin protective device, which can be positioned adjacent a wound or sensitive skin area and serve as a protective shield against contact by foreign objects or as a support for maintaining a bandage out of contact with the wound or sensitive skin area, includes a plurality of longitudinally spaced, generally U-shaped support elements. Each of the support elements include an elongated, laterally extending central portions of sufficient length to bridge or span the wound or sensitive skin area and a pair of support legs which depend from the opposite ends of the central portion and are adapted to rest on healthy skin surrounding the wound or sensitive skin area. Adjacent pairs of the support elements are connected together by one or more relatively narrow connecting links made from a flexible and severable material so that a device, including two or more of the support elements, can be conveniently conformed to the natural contour of the body and cut in a length appropriate for the particular wound or sensitive skin area involved.
