摘要：
An elastomeric sleeve which is a hollow tube having a first side, a second opposite side, a top end, and a bottom end, wherein the top end is open and the bottom end is closed. The second opposite side has a slit extending from the top end towards the bottom end. The slit and the open top end make the sleeve easy to place over the handle and to remove it from the handle. The closed bottom end facilitate the sleeves remaining on the handle during use. The slit may have an opening so that handle elements, such as leaf springs, may extend therethrough. The sleeve may have a cover for a horn member on a handle of a rongeur. The cover may have a flange at a base of the cover, thereby forming a cushion. The cover and cushion reduce or eliminate fatigue and trauma to the thenar muscles and surrounding nerves. The sleeve may also have a thumb support.
