Patent

CA 2493467

Apparatus (20) for sheathing an endoscope (22) includes a dispenser (24), having entry and exit ports (36, 39) defining a transit passage through which the endoscope may pass, and a flexible sleeve (26), at least a portion of which is bunched in a vicinity of the dispenser. The sleeve includes a distal end (28), which is closed, and a proximal end, which is open and fixed to the dispenser so that as the endoscope is advanced in a distal direction through the transit passage, the endoscope enters into the sleeve through the proximal end and engages the distal end of the sleeve, thus causing the bunched portion of the sleeve to be extended so as to cover a distal part of the endoscope that protrudes through the exit port.

L'invention comprend un appareil (20) servant de gaine à un endoscope (22), comprenant un distributeur (24) présentant des ouvertures d'entrée et de sortie (36, 39) définissant un passage de transit au travers duquel l'endoscope peut se déplacer, et un manchon souple (26), dont au moins une portion est enclose dans une zone voisine du distributeur. Le manchon comprend une extrémité distale (28) qui est fermée, et une extrémité proximale, qui est ouverte et fixée au distributeur, de telle façon que lorsque l'endoscope est déplacé dans une direction distale, à travers le passage de transit, l'endoscope pénètre dans le manchon, par l'extrémité proximale, et vient en prise avec l'extrémité distale du manchon, ce qui provoque l'extension de la portion enclose du manchon, de manière à recouvrir une partie distale de l'endoscope qui émerge de l'ouverture de sortie.
