A prophylactic device comprising disposable, flexible, stretchable sterile jacket or sheath housed in a small, membrane sealed, tubular plastic or paper cartridge is disclosed herein. The sterile jacket may be very quickly stretched over and removed from a fever thermometer, thereby completely eliminating the need to otherwise conventionally sterilize thermometers or similar probes prior to each use. After its use, the jacket retracts automatically and sanitarily into the cartridge for easy disposal. The new prophylactic device simplifies and greatly reduces the cost of using all types of thermometer probes which require sterilization prior to each use. Large supplies of the cartridges may be packaged and stored for convenience in dispensers. Individual cartridges are small enough to be carried in large numbers in clothing pockets.
