Abstract

Abstract A sterilizable video camera cover is provided which has a connector having a guideway for receiving an unsterile video camera within it in a predetermined fixed orientation. A receptacle is provided for holding the camera in this position against a window at the distal end of the connector which serves as a bacteria barrier. A flared end is provided distally of the window for receiving a sterile "C" mount and endoscope in a fixed position with respect to the camera. An accordion folded sleeve is positioned on the receptacle for being extended over the trailing cable of the video camera to maintain the sterile environment within the operating room even though the camera and trailing cable are unsterile.
