A protective cover for a site on a patient is provided which provides an effective moisture barrier to the site. The cover includes a first, absorptive layer which absorbs and wicks away any accumulated moisture on the site to keep the site dry and contaminant free, and a second, waterproof layer which precludes penetration of moisture and other such external effects to keep both the first layer and the site dry. Cuffs formed on open end portions of the second layer direct water and other such contaminants away from potential points of entry, thereby providing a further level of protection to the first layer and the site.
