Mayo stand covers and methods and apparatus for forming the same

A method for forming a Mayo stand cover, the method comprising:

• a) forming a flat, tubular bag body including first and second opposed layers defining a bag cavity therebetween, the bag body having a closed first end and an open second end, the first and second layers including first and second end edges, respectively, defining an opening at the second end, wherein the opening and the bag cavity are sized and configured to receive the Mayo stand;
• and
• b) securing at least one cuff member to each of the first and second layers adjacent the first and second end edges such that the at least one cuff member defines a cuff cavity with each of the first and second opposed layers, wherein the at least one cuff member is separately formed from the bag body.

• a) a flat, tubular bag body including first and second opposed layers defining a bag cavity therebetween and opposed side edges, the bag body having a closed first end and an open second end, the first and second layers including first and second end edges, respectively, defining an opening at the second end, wherein the opening and the bag cavity are sized and configured to receive the Mayo stand;
• and
• b) a cuff assembly including at least one cuff member joined to the bag body and defining a cuff cavity with the first layer, wherein the cuff cavity extends outwardly beyond at least one of the side edges of the bag body to define a gap between the at least one cuff member and the at least one of the side edges of the bag body.
