Barrier-type Protection from Exposure to Community Acquired Pathogens

Abstract

A barrier-type protection for the temporary covering over of handles which are likely to harbor contagions, such as those of shopping carts, and exercise machines. The barrier can be dispensed from rolls in which each barrier is separated by a perforation. A portion of the barrier has an adhesive region that can adhere to an outer portion of the barrier, so as to secure the barrier over a handle.

 1) a length of substrate having an inner surface and an outer surface,   2) at least one adhesive region of the inner surface that can adhere to the outer surface, and,   3) at least one non-adhesive corridor for placement against a covered surface.   
     
     
         2 . The barrier protection of  claim 1 , in which the barriers are disposable. 
     
     
         3 . The barrier protection of  claim 1 , in which the barriers dispensed on a roll and separated by perforations.
