ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic probe protector for protecting a fiber optic probe such that sterilization of the probe after each use is not necessary. The fiber optic probe protector includes a sheath, a barrier membrane secured to the first end of the sheath, a handle and a locking assembly. The sheath defines a first end, a second end and a tubular extending therebetween. The handle defines a first end, a second end, an interior cavity extending therebetween. The interior cavity and the tubular cavity cooperate to form a probe passage for receiving a fiber optic probe therethrough. The locking assembly is for securely holding and locking the fiber optic probe in place such that the face of the probe abuts against the barrier membrane.
