Abstract
A protective sleeve for covering the handles of a dentist's light is formed of two flexible plastic panels joined at four edges and having an aperture cut therein to allow access to the interior of the sleeve. The T-shaped handle of the light is inserted into the aperture, which is preferably elliptical in shape, and the sleeve pulled onto the handle. The sleeve is pulled off the handle after completion of a procedure on a patient and a new sleeve is put on before treatment of the next patient, thus avoiding possible transmission of disease from one patient to another from contact with the light handle.
