A protective cover for an insertion probe of a medical instrument. The cover contains a flexible tubular body that compliments the probe geometry and a radially disposed flange that surrounds the proximal end of the body. A series of snap-on fasteners removably connect the cover to the instrument. A camming surface is located on the outer face of the flange which coacts with a cam follower that is movably mounted upon the instrument to flex the cover sufficiently to open the fastener and release the cover from the instrument and move the cover axially toward the distal end of the tip.

An electronic thermometer is provided. The electronic thermometer according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is for periodically measuring a body temperature by being attached to a body of a user, and comprises: at least one temperature sensor mounted on the one surface of a flexible circuit board; a memory unit for storing information obtained via the temperature sensor; a communication unit for externally transmitting the information stored in the memory unit; a control unit for controlling the operations of the temperature sensor, memory unit, and communication unit; a power supply unit arranged on the one surface of the flexible circuit board such that driving power can be provided; and a protection member surrounding the flexible circuit board such that external exposure of the temperature sensor, memory unit, communication unit, control unit, and power supply unit can be prevented.

A temperature measurement system includes a temperature probe including a temperature sensor. The system also includes a reader, and a controller in communication with the temperature sensor and the reader. The system further includes a container housing a plurality of probe covers associated with the temperature probe. The container includes an information feature providing information related to the plurality of probe covers. The reader is configured to read the information and direct a signal to the controller indicative of the information.

Digital Thermometer of antimicrobial copper, meant for medical use, consisting externally of the body (1), the battery cover that is the removable part through which the battery is inserted into the thermometer (2), the power button i.e. ON-OFF button (3), the display (4) and the tip, that is the sensor for measuring temperature (5) and is characterized by the fact that the outer surface of these components except of the display, is made of antimicrobial copper, or bears antimicrobial copper. Due to the antimicrobial-bacteriostatic properties of copper and its alloys with antimicrobial properties, it is achieved naturally—without any further interference, i.e. without disinfectants use—the neutralization of pathogenic microbes that infest the thermometer body, therefore it is achieved limitation of their further dispersion.

A disposable electronic thermometer is provided. The disposable electronic thermometer, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, comprises: a base substrate including an adhesive layer formed on one surface to be attached to a body of a user; a control part including a circuit board arranged on one surface of the base substrate and at least one driving chip mounted on the circuit board; a temperature sensor arranged on one surface of the base substrate and electrically connected to the circuit board, to thus measure a body temperature of a user; an NFC antenna electrically connected to the circuit board and arranged on one surface of the base substrate to surround the circuit board; and a cover member attached to one surface of the base substrate to prevent external exposure of the circuit board, the temperature sensor, and the NFC antenna.

A system includes a container (500) having a base member (506) and four sides (501,502,503,504). The four sides flare outward from the base member as the four sides extend distally from the base member. The four sides define an open top (506) of the container. One or more tapered probe covers (100) can be stored within the container. The container can have a protective covering (700) as well.
