Abstract
An infant umbilical cord stump protector includes a pad positionable proximal to the umbilical cord stump and a cover including fluid impermeable material over the pad. The fluid impermeable material has (i) an adhesive region that is adhereable to the infant about the umbilical cord stump, (ii) a deformable region, and (iii) a periphery about the deformable region. The deformable region has greater flexibility than the periphery in such a way that the cover can form a dome-like shape about the umbilical cord stump. The umbilical cord stump protector is used to protect the umbilical cord stump while it dries.
