A protective sleeve apparatus for protecting an endoscopic or laparoscopic instrument includes an elongated tubular member having an open proximal end and an open distal end. The elongated tubular member is sized and configured to receive a laparoscopic or endoscopic instrument therethrough. The tubular member has a folded section adjacent the distal end in releasable engagement with an intermediate section of the tubular member to define a substantially enclosed sleeve to receive the instrument and substantially prevent entry of contaminants within an interior of the tubular member. The folded section is releasable from the intermediate section upon exertion of a proximal force to the tubular member to facilitate removal of the tubular member along the instrument.
L'invention concerne un manchon de protection destiné à la protection d'un instrument d'endoscopie ou de laparoscopie, comprenant un élément tubulaire allongé comportant une extrémité proximale ouverte et une extrémité distale ouverte. Cet élément tubulaire allongé est conçu pour recevoir un instrument de laparoscopie ou d'endoscopie. L'élément tubulaire comporte une section pliée jouxtant l'extrémité distale, reliée de manière amovible à une section intermédiaire de l'élément tubulaire, de manière à former un manchon sensiblement fermé pouvant recevoir l'instrument et à sensiblement empêcher l'entrée de contaminants à l'intérieur de l'élément tubulaire. La section pliée peut être séparée de la section intermédiaire. Pour ce faire, il suffit d'exercer une pression au niveau de l'extrémité proximale de l'élément tubulaire pour faciliter le retrait de l'élément tubulaire le long de l'instrument.
