ABSTRACT:
A surgical endoscope head is protected against damage from impact during non-surgical handling and disinfecting procedures by inserting the head into a protective sleeve. The sleeve has sufficient rigidity to resist deformation from impact experienced during handling. The inserted head is spaced from the sleeve interior to permit free flow of disinfectant liquid about the head periphery. Additional protection may be provided by a sheath disposed concentrically within the sleeve and adapted to receive the protected endoscope head while providing for free flow of liquid around and along the head. The endoscope head is preferably gripped resiliently at the proximal end of the sleeve without blocking liquid flow through the open proximal end.
