Abstract: There is described a protective cover for a body member of a patient having a catheter inserted therein at a catheter insertion point. A sleeve wraps around the body part over the catheter, and comprises a sleeve body covering a substantial surface of the body member. The sleeve body is made of a material that is non-rigid and flexible, to adapt to the surface of the body member. An openable window covers and provides access to the catheter when the protective cover is worn, the openable window being openable with respect to the sleeve body and fastenable by a waterproof fastener. The inner surface of the openable window is for securing an antiseptic agent, wherein the inner surface of the openable window is applied onto the catheter insertion point when the openable window is closed. The protective cover is free of any rigid member.
