摘要： Removable barrier devices (e.g., sleeves) for covering medical scanning devices to reduce the chance of cross-contamination between patients and/or to protect the scanning devices from physical damage. The barrier device can include a cover that has an integrated window for passing optical signals between the scanning device and an external environment. The cover can include a sleeve that covers a handle portion of the scanning device to prevent contamination of the handle from a user's hand or glove. The cover and sleeve may both be formed of the same flexible material, or the cover may be rigid to maintain the window in a fixed position and the sleeve may be flexible to allow a user to activate a button or touchpad on the handle. An interface region between the cover and sleeve may provide a hermetic seal. The window may include a nanostructured antireflective material to limit internal reflections.

摘要： Apparatuses, including sleeves, intraoral scanning systems to use these sleeves, and methods of using the sleeve. These sleeves may preserve the optical performance of the scanner while also providing a physical protection to the scanner itself, and may cover the entire intraoral scanner (e.g., the wand and/or connecting cable) or only the tip of the scanner (e.g., the wand portion) to prevent contamination.
