Abstract: The lamp handle cover system for surgical lamps includes a semi-permanent, non-disposal surgical lamp handle and its accessory component, a sterile disposable semi-flexible handle cover, which, in combination, provides an aseptic medium by which a surgical team member can manually adjust the operating room lamp during a surgical procedure, thereby preventing accidental or unknown incidental procedure, thereby preventing accidental or unknown incidental contamination. The non-disposable lamp handle includes an ergonomically designed grip handle and a locking/coupling assembly which couples the grip handle to the male component of the conventional surgical lamp. The sterile disposable handle cover is formed from a flexible sleeve closed at one end and having a relatively rigid collar formed about the opposite open end.
