In order to establish a sterile barrier between a sterile operating environment, including an endoscope (10), and a non-sterile environment including an imaging unit (10), a condom-like sheath (40) is provided in rolled-up form on a coupling device (12). The coupling device (12) has first (108) and second ends (110) adapted to mate the endoscope (10) and the imaging unit (16) respectively. After the coupling device (12) is mated with the imaging unit (10) the sheath (40) can be unrolled to cover the non-sterile imaging unit (10), but leaving the focusing mechanism (48) uncovered.
Afin d'établir une barrière stérile entre un environnement opérationnel stérile comprenant un endoscope (10), et un environnement non stérile comprenant une unité d'imagerie (10), on place une gaine de type condom (40), sous forme enroulée, sur un dispositif de couplage (12). Ce dispositif de couplage (12) est pourvu de première (108) et seconde (110) extrémités, conçues pour être raccordées respectivement audit endoscope (10) et à ladite unité d'imagerie (16). Après le raccordement du dispositif de couplage (12) à l'unité d'imagerie (10), la gaine (40) peut être déroulée pour recouvrir ladite unité d'imagerie non stérile (10), mais elle laisse à nu le mécanisme de mise au point (48).
