The invention relates to a sterilization coat (1) for sterilizing a device (2) like a medical detection device, wherein the sterilization coat (1) is adapted to be arranged on the device (2) and comprises a heating layer for sterilizing the device (2) by heating. If the sterilization coat (1) has been arranged on the device, several sterilization procedures can be performed by heating the sterilization coat (1) using the heating layer. Thus, it is not necessary to arrange sterile plastic drapes around the device (2) each time a sterile device is needed, for example, before each medical interventional procedure. If a sterilization of the device (2) is needed, the heating layer heats the device (2) for sterilizing. This simplifies the procedure for sterilizing the device (2).
