摘要:
An endoscope sheath comprising: (a) a proximal end, (b) a distal end having a distal end region, (c) a surface extending between and connecting the proximal end and the distal end, (d) a plurality of positioning devices located along the surface; and (e) one or more drip retention features; wherein the sheath is configured to: (i) receive all or a portion of an endoscope and (ii) provide a conduit for communicating fluid between the proximal end of the endoscope sheath and the distal end of the endoscope sheath when the endoscope is inserted inside the sheath; and wherein the plurality of positioning devices are located in a distal end region at the distal end of the endoscope sheath so that the endoscope is secured within the endoscope sheath; and wherein the one or more drip retention features are configured to produce a region bounded by the endoscope sheath and the endoscope to retain a volume of liquid by capillary action.
