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 8):
A method comprising\n attaching a barrier to skin of a person to form a seal between the barrier and the skin continuously along a strip that surrounds an exposed feature of the person, to shield the exposed feature temporarily against exposure to an environmental material, and after the barrier has been attached, stretching the barrier to accommodate a tension imparted to the barrier by motion of a part of the person in the vicinity of the exposed feature, to prevent the tension from breaking the seal.
