Abstract:
In general, in an aspect, a barrier includes a water impenetrable membrane having two sides. On one side of the membrane, a continuous strip of adhesive surrounds an adhesive-free central area. The entire extent of the continuous strip of adhesive bears one or more release strips. The membrane is resilient, flexible, and stretchable with an elongation at break in the range of 150% to 1000% (using test ASTM D412).

Claim (Index 1):
A barrier comprising\n a water impenetrable membrane having two sides and a perimeter, on one side of the membrane, a continuous strip of adhesive configured to be adhered to skin of a person to form a water-tight seal with the skin along an entire perimeter of the membrane, the water-tight seal surrounding an adhesive-free central area of the membrane, the adhesive-free central area of the membrane configured to not be adhered to the skin, the adhesive-free central area of the membrane being stretchable between a first, un-stretched configuration and a second stretched configuration without breaking the water-tight seal along the entire perimeter of the membrane, the adhesive-free central area of the membrane configured to remain un-adhered to the skin, the stretched configuration being elongated by at least 150% relative to the un-stretched configuration.
