ABSTRACT:
A disposable protective sheath for covering the dilating members of a speculum which are partially insertable into the vaginal cavity of a patient during a gynecological endoscopic examination. The sheath protects against transmission of potentially harmful micro-organisms via the speculum while still allowing visual and instrumental access to the vaginal cavity by the examining physician, yet the sheath does not interfere with the normal operation of the speculum.
