ABSTRACT:
A germicide sleeve for dental and medical instruments comprising a flexible non-permeable outer sleeve wall of plastic or the like, the sleeve being closed at one end, the inner wall lined with a compressible absorbent material such as foam rubber surrounding an elongated central cavity or bore which extends the length of the sleeve and opens at an open end thereof to receive the working portion of a dental or medical instrument therein, the absorbent material being impregnated with a germicide solution to disinfect the instrument while stored therein, the compressible absorbent material which completely surrounds the central bore or cavity also serving as a protective cushion for the instrument stored therein while awaiting use. The germicide sleeve is disposable after its first use, and the instrument may be placed in a new germicide sleeve after each use of the instrument. The open end of the germicide sleeve is covered by a breakable seal prior to use. The germicide solution may be injected into the sleeve to impregnate the absorbent material after the seal has been broken and just prior to placing a dental or medical instrument therein. In this way, the full active life of the germicide is available for disinfection of the instrument while stored therein, and a germicide injector having an elongated nozzle with spaced apart openings along its side wall for insertion into the central bore of the sleeve to impregnate the absorbent material is part of this invention.
