Abstract

Disclosed herein are devices, systems, and methods thereof for minimizing or preventing contamination of sterile medical devices during magnetization thereof. For example, a magnetizer cover is disclosed for maintaining sterility of a medical device while magnetizing the medical device. The magnetizer cover includes a base, a funnel extending from the base, and a grip tab extending from the base. The base includes a medical-device interface and a magnetizer interface opposite the medical-device interface. The funnel includes a funnel stem configured to protect an elongate medical device from contacting a magnetizer when the medical device is inserted into the funnel. The grip tab is configured for manipulating the magnetizer cover.
