Abstract: A thin flat band (1) for wound protection of the type having at one end (24) a section of tape with protective backing (14) used to connect the band to its opposite end when formed into a loop (40). The band is made of a flexible material that can be easily formed into a loop. In addition, several rows of double sided tape (22) are affixed to the top (26) and bottom (28) edges of the band. The tape is notched to assist in the bending of the band. With the tape's protective backing (20) removed, one bottom rows of tape are used to attach the protector to the skin (32), the top rows can be used to attach additional protective layers of materials (48) to the protector.
