ABSTRACT:
A disposable protective sleeve used for covering dental equipment such as light curing guns has two panels of flexible plastic which are joined together at a top edge and at side edges, the sleeve having an open bottom to allow the sleeve to be pulled over the equipment, for example, a light gun. Apertures are formed in the sleeve at opposite positions in the sleeve. The apertures may be defined by notches cut in the adjoining panels of the protective sleeve at positions along the side edges spaced from the top edge. When the protective sleeve is drawn onto a light gun, the front end of the body of the typically cylindrical light gun extends through one of the apertures of the sleeve, while the back end of the light gun, which is typically vented, extends through the other aperture. The protective sleeve covers the handle of the light gun where it is held by the dentist. After a procedure with a patient is completed, the protective sleeve is pulled off of the gun and disposed of, and a new protective sleeve is used before a procedure on another patient.
