ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for providing a sterile operating environment for endoscopic diagnosis and/or surgery. A covering comprises a pair of generally orthogonally arranged component bags. Each of the component bags is of an accordian-like extendible type. The component bags are joined adjacent the open end of one bag and an aperture adjacent the open end of the other bag. The open end of the second bag is engaged either to a sterile endoscopic probe preferably of the disposable type or to a shield for enclosing the distal end of an endoscope. The entire apparatus is sterilized and configured so that the component bags can be extended along the camera and light guide cables of the endoscopic system so that resistant spores, bacteria and viruses cannot contaminate the open incision.
