A surgery tool cover (10) facilitates protected introduction of a surgical element (e.g., a circular stapler, specimen removal device) into the body, especially a surgical element requiring expansion of its occupied volume after insertion into the body. Such a surgical tool cover 10 includes a hinged, mating pair of tool cover sections (16,18) that are normally biased together so as to define a closed volume in which a tool can be carried and includes a handle via which the surgery tool cover and a tool carried therewithin can be held. The handle is further configured for opening the cover sections via the hinge so that the tool carried within the cover can be used. |
