ABSTRACT:
There is provided a novel drape for covering surgical equipment, particularly but not exclusively for covering elongate surgical equipment which flexes during use, such as an endoscopic camera cable. The drape comprises a sleeve and a ring-shaped former. The ring-shaped former is arranged coaxially inside the sleeve, the majority of the latter being multiply folded over and carried on the ring-shaped former. The proximal region of the sleeve contacts the radially outer periphery of the ring-shaped former and it is overlaid with successive sleeve layers arising from repeated 180.degree. folds in the sleeve. Pulling the distal region of the sleeve away from the former causes orderly unfolding of the sleeve by relative sliding of the outermost layer over the adjacent layer.
