APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR APPLYING STERILE COVER TO TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE PROBE

摘要

A sleeve is slidably mounted between stop means and in a slight friction fit upon a cylindrical temperature sensitive probe and has a radially outwardly extending rim about an end thereof which is movable beyond the probe end to be inserted into a sterile flexible package. An elastic ring on the end of a latex probe cover fits over said sleeve rim while said sleeve is inserted into the package whereupon sliding movement of the sleeve down the probe places the sterile cover over the probe without manual contamination of the exterior of the cover.
