An interface apparatus (10) provides a sterile barrier between a sterile fie ld and non-sterile portions of an associated surgical lighthead (44). The interface apparatus (10) is a sterile disposable cover including a lower grippable portion (20), an intermediate cone-shaped portion (22), and an upp er window area (40). The lower grippable portion (20) is adapted to connect ont o the handle position (12) of an associated surgical lighthead (14). An intermediate cone-shaped portion (22) connects the lower grippable portion (20) with an upper window area (40). The upper window area (40) overlays control input means (16, 18) of the associated surgical lighthead (14) such as, for example, light intensity controls. At least a portion of the upper window area (40) is transparent to enable visualization of the control input s (16, 18) beneath the sterile disposable cover (10). The interface apparatus is of a unitary or composite construction. |
