A protective sleeve apparatus for protecting an endoscopic or laparoscopi c instrument includes an elongated tubular member having an open proximal en d and an open distal end. The elongated tubular member is sized and configur ed to receive a laparoscopic or endoscopic instrument therethrough. The tubu lar member has a folded section adjacent the distal end in releasable engage ment with an intermediate section of the tubular member to define a substant ially enclosed sleeve to receive the instrument and substantially prevent en try of contaminants within an interior of the tubular member. The folded sec tion is releasable from the intermediate section upon exertion of a proximal force to the tubular member to facilitate removal of the tubular member alo ng the instrument.
