ABSTRACT:
A disposable sheath for use with clinical measurement probes, such as a temperature probe. Two sheaths are provided, each with an open end, and which are attached to each other near their respective distal ends. The first sheath covers the probe, and the second sheath covers the first as measurements are taken. After withdrawal of the probe, the second sheath may be inverted to avoid contamination of the environment and other patients. Further pulling of the disposable cover removes it from the probe, which may then be used again without cleaning or sterilization.
