A disposable bandage for covering a wound area of a skin surface includes
a self adhesive first fastener portion and a second fastener portion, a
dome having a generally rectilinear shape and constructed from a thin
rigid material, the dome being coupled to the first fastener portion
along one edge and coupled to the second fastener portion along a second
edge. The dome includes pleats that extend across the dome shape from the
top edge to the bottom edge of the dome. A gasket is formed of a
stretchable material and extends around the underside of the dome. The
gasket is held in contact with the skin surface when the first fastener
portion and the second fastener portion are pressed to a user's skin and,
when the first fastener portion and the second fastener portion are moved
away from each other, the pleats are unfolded and the gasket material is
stretched and remains in contact with the skin surface.
