1. A body part shielding protective cover assembly for use as a liquid barrier, comprising:
- a three-dimensional enclosure comprising a deformable front sheet and an attached back sheet, the front sheet having an applique of ribs thereon configured to keep the front sheet from touching the wound, said enclosure made of a flexible, liquid impervious material, the back sheet having an outer body-attachment-periphery in an interior portion of the back sheet and an inner wound-encircling periphery that defines a central, wound encircling opening; and
an adhesive layer extending along an inner surface perimeter of the outer body attachment periphery of the back sheet for securing an outer periphery thereof onto the body part, wherein the inner wound-encircling periphery is positioned and sized so the assembly is arranged to cover and define an expandable three-dimensional wound shielding chamber.

Abstract
A protective cover for use as a liquid barrier includes an enclosure having a supported front sheet and a back sheet. The enclosure is made of a flexible, liquid impervious material, the back face having a periphery in the interior of the back face that defines an opening; and an adhesive layer extending along the periphery of the back face for securing the periphery onto a body part, wherein the periphery is positioned and sized to define an opening that can accommodate a body part to be shielded from liquid.

14. A three-dimensional body part shielding protective cover assembly for use as a liquid barrier, the cover assembly comprising an enclosure comprising a deformable, chamber reinforcing, front sheet and an attached back sheet, the front sheet having an applique of ribs thereon configured to keep the front sheet from touching the wound, said enclosure made of a flexible, liquid impervious material, the back sheet having an outermost body-attachment-periphery on a rear side of the back sheet and an inner periphery that defines a central, wound encircling opening;
- and
an adhesive layer extending along an inner surface perimeter of an outer body periphery of the back sheet for securing an outer periphery thereof onto the body part, wherein the back sheet has an inner wound-encircling periphery which is positioned and sized so the assembly is arranged to cover and define an expandable wound shielding three-dimensional chamber, wherein the front and back sheets are sealed along their edges with a liquid impervious seal, and wherein the front sheet includes an inlet port to allow introduction of pressurized fluid into the expandable wound shielding chamber, wherein the applique consists of a site-dependent patient-customizable wound-contact-free applique, having an array of shape memory material ribs thereon.
