The invention is a wound care device having substantially rigid frame with a broad base strong enough to support the weight of sheets, blankets and other items used to cover the patient. The base has at least two points of contact with the bed, table or chair that the patient is lying on or sitting in. These points of contact are connected to each other by the bridge like frame and are dispersed widely enough so that the barrier is able to straddle the relevant body parts. At the same time, it is small enough so that the body is able to easily heat a pocket of air created within the barrier and bedclothes. The device is tapered to accommodate the shape of limbs, with the ratio of diameters providing order point data.
