Abstract
An device for covering an elongated medical probe such as a vaginal, rectal, ultra sound or the like type probe. In the preferred embodiment the sheath is tubular and includes a nose and an open end through which the medical probe is inserted. Preferably the sheath is packaged by mounting it on a flexible carrier in a partially elongated position. An adhesive material releasably secures the sheath to the carrier such that the nose of the sheath is inverted and defines a folded nose opening to facilitate positioning the sheath over the tip of a conventional medical probe.
