What is claimed is:
1. A protective, water-resistant bag for temporarily storing a small medical or electronic apparatus which apparatus is sensitive to water damage, said apparatus being connected to a tube or cord leading from said apparatus to the user of said apparatus, said bag comprising:
- a pouch formed by a first segment of thin material having a flap attached to the bottom edge thereof and folded upward therefrom, said flap not extending to the top edge of said first segment of thin material, said apparatus being stored in said pouch prior to entry into a wet environment;
- a second segment of thin material sealingly attached at the top edge thereof to said top edge of said first segment of thin material, said second segment of thin material extending downwardly over at least a portion of said flap, the sides of said first and second segments of thin material being sealingly attached together, thereby sealing said pouch save for an opening between said second segment and said flap and shielding said apparatus from a wet environment, said tube or cord extending from said apparatus in said pouch over said flap and between said flap and said second segment of thin material, said tube or cord thereby extending out of said bag;
- adhesive sealing means for removably sealing said second segment of thin material to said flap around a portion of said tube or cord located between said flap and said second segment of thin material, thereby making said pouch water-resistant; and
- means for supporting said pouch and said first and second segments of thin material, said supporting means being attached to the top edges of said first and second segments of thin material.
