Abstract

A sheath is provided which prevents the dental camera itself from coming into contact with the patient, while allowing the dental camera to function properly. Such sheaths are dispensed on a perforated role, either end to end, or side to side. Alternatively, each sheath is individually packaged in a tear away casing, allowing the sheath to remain sterile, yet being readily accessible for use.
