METHOD OF APPLICATION OF TEMPERATURE PROBE COVER WITH PROVISION FOR TARY DISPOSAL

摘要

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TEMPERATURE PROBE COVER WITH PROVISION FOR SANITARY DISPOSAL A probe cover incorporating an Inner sheath with a probe end engagement section. The section comprises a reduced width of the inner sheath adjacent the end opposite that into which the temperature probe is inserted. The reduced width section is produced by bonding of the layers of the sheath together with a graduated bond strength so that with a combination of bond separation and material stretch good contact and retention of the probe end is insured. A tapered welding head in association with a resilient platen is utilized to obtain the graduated weld section. When the temperature probe is removed after use the inner sheath is turned inside-out so that the contamination of the inner sheath is contained inside the inverted sheath and cannot contact the users hands.
