Patent ID: 8155755

Claim:
A sheath for electrical leads in a monitoring system for monitoring patient physiological characteristics, said sheath comprising: a pair of sheets having edges and a first end and a second end and being secured together along said edges and along spaced seams, the spaced seams beginning near the second end and running substantially parallel to said edges toward the first end to define a plurality of longitudinally extending compartments, the spaced seams ending a distance from the second end to define an open pocket between the edges at the second end, and a plurality of tear lines extending along said seams from said second end configured to laterally separate said compartments into separate arms, said pair of sheets being open at said first end configured to receive at least one electrical lead, each compartment being open at second end of said pair of sheets configured to allow a respective electrical lead to extend past said second end, each tear line being located between edges of a respective seam such that the seam remains sealed on adjacent arms when the tear line is separated.
