Patent ID: 7063664

Claim:
A cover for the blades of a two-bladed vaginal speculum, comprising: a sheath of a flexible film material having a proximal open end for receiving tips of the speculum blade and an open distal end to allow observation of the vaginal area beyond the distal end, the sheath being tubular in cross-section from its proximal end to its distal end; two elongated, longitudinally extending pouches formed on the wall of the tubular sheath at diametrically opposed points terminating in closed sections disposed adjacent to the distal end of the sheath and having openings at their proximal ends to receive the tips of the two speculum blades; and distally pointed tips formed on the sheath forward of the distal ends of each of the pouches adapted to guide the speculum blades, encased in the pouches, into the vagina.
