Abstract
A sterilizable cover for a handle of an accessory of a medical suspended ceiling assembly includes a generally tubular stem portion and an annular flange portion. The generally tubular stem portion has a sufficient size to be gripped by the human hand, and has a proximal end that is open and a distal end that is closed, and defines a cavity along a longitudinal axis for receipt therein of a handle grip portion. The generally tubular stem portion includes a friction fit portion that is configured to flex radially outwardly to create a friction fit with a portion of the handle grip portion upon receipt of the handle grip portion in the cavity of the generally tubular stem portion. The annular flange portion extends radially outwardly from a proximal end of the generally tubular stem portion. The generally tubular stem portion and the annular flange portion are a single continuous piece of flexible silicone rubber.
