Abstract
The present invention relates to a sterile covering device with a rotating joint between two attached members, rotating relative to each other and such that the rotating joint connecting the proximal ends of the two members has a groove between these two members, the proximal end of a first cover is able to cover not only the proximal end of the member that it protects but also at least all or part of the groove of the rotating joint, and the proximal end of a second cover is able to cover the proximal end of the other member that it protects and also a part of the proximal end of the first cover that it encloses at the level of the rotating joint, in the groove that the latter has between the two members.
Claims9
A sterile covering and rotating joint device between two attached members, rotating relative to each other and each covered by at least one protective cover able to cover the proximal end of the member that it protects, and comprising at least one groove, wherein:
- the at least one groove is between the two members and is on the rotating joint connecting the proximal ends of the two members,
- the proximal end of a first cover, which is able to cover the proximal end of the member that it protects, is also able to cover at least one longitudinal part of the groove of the rotating joint,
- the proximal end of a second cover, which is able to cover the proximal end of the other member that it protects, is able to also cover a portion of the proximal end of the first cover that this proximal end of a second cover encloses at the rotating joint in the groove with the rotating joint between the two members.
