Abstract:
A protective cover for an insertion probe of a medical instrument. The cover contains a flexible tubular body that compliments the probe geometry and a radially disposed flange that surrounds the proximal end of the body. A series of snap-on fasteners removably connect the cover to the instrument. A camming surface is located on the outer face of the flange which coacts with a cam follower that is movably mounted upon the instrument to flex the cover sufficiently to open the fastener and release the cover from the instrument and move the cover axially toward the distal end of the tip.

Claim (Index 31):
The probe cover of  claim 21 , wherein the camming surface is substantially convex, and the camming surface extends radially away from the longitudinal axis from a proximal end of the camming surface to a distal end of the camming surface.
