Abstract：By innovation and improvement to the disposable sterile protective sleeve used in endoscopic surgery, we designed a novel
disposable sterile protective sleeve with fan-folded tube wall. The novel sterile protective sleeve was composed of pressing
plastic buckle, fixing belt and tubular sleeve body. The tubular sleeve was made of polyethylene film, and the tube wall was
fan-shaped, telescopic and multi-layer type. A fixing belt was set at the opening of both ends of the tubular sleeve body, and a
push-type plastic buckle was set on the fixing belt. This fan-shaped tubular protective sleeve has the advantages of simple and
reasonable design, convenient operation, and time-saving and labor-saving. After clinical trial, the new protective sleeve has good
effect and high practicability, which is worthy of widespread clinical use.
