Medical equipment handle covers are single-use, non-sterile barriers designed to protect healthcare professionals from direct contact with potentially contaminated handles of tools like examination or treatment lights. They create a hygienic layer between the user’s hands and the equipment, reducing the risk of cross-contamination during clinical procedures.
These devices are typically made from polymers and are intended for one-time use only, adhering directly to the handle without covering other parts of the equipment. Regulation and classification vary by jurisdiction, but they are generally treated as low-risk medical devices due to their limited clinical interaction and non-sterile nature.
