Endoscopic drape

A drape for use in an endoscopic surgical procedure, the drape including a housing comprising a first housing piece joined to a second housing piece and a sheath of flexible material having a portion thereof connected to the housing, wherein the sheath is connected to the housing by positioning a portion of the sheath between the first housing piece and the second housing piece prior to joining the first and second housing pieces and wherein the portion of the sheath is trapped between the joined first and second housing pieces to thereby establish a leak-proof seal between the sheath and the housing.

A drape for use in an endoscopic surgical procedure, the drape including a housing including a first housing piece having a portion joined to a joining portion of a second housing piece, a sheath of flexible material having a portion positioned between the first and second housing pieces, a thermoplastic material positioned between the portion of the sheath and one of the first and second housing pieces, the thermoplastic material affixing the portion of the sheath to the one of the first and second housing pieces and wherein the joining portions of the first and second housing pieces surround and entrap an edge of the portion of the sheath in the completed housing.

A drape for use in an endoscopic surgical procedure comprising a housing and a sheath of flexible material joined to the housing to form an essentially leak-proof seal between the sheath and the housing, the housing having a camera coupling means for coupling a camera thereto and a telescope coupling means for coupling an endoscopic telescope thereto, the housing having an optical pathway therein to enable light and/or an image from the endoscopic telescope to be transmitted to the camera, wherein a corrective lens is placed in the optical pathway.

A drape for use in an endoscopic surgical procedure comprising a housing and a sheath of flexible material joined to the housing to form an essentially leak-proof seal between the sheath and the housing, the housing having a camera coupling means for coupling a camera thereto and a telescope coupling means for coupling an endoscopic telescope thereto, the housing having an optical pathway therein to allow light and/or an image from the telescope to be transmitted to the camera, wherein the telescope coupling means includes locking means operative between a first position wherein the telescope is connected to the telescope coupling means and can rotate within the telescope coupling means and a second position where the telescope is connected to the telescope coupling means and locked against rotation within the telescope coupling.
