  • Patent number: 11865301
    Abstract: A protective cover or sleeve for a medical spike product is provided. The protective cover includes a first panel having a lower edge, and a second panel having a lower edge, wherein the first panel and the second panel are connected at their lower edges, respectively. The first panel and the second panel are configured to be spaced apart to form a protective sleeve. The protective sleeve is configured to receive the medical spike product such that the first panel and the second panel protectively cover and enable aseptic handling of a spike end of the medical spike product and prevent the spike end from breaching a sterile barrier. The protective sleeve may be made from a paper-based material. A medical spike product assembly including the protective cover and a medical spike product inserted therein is also provided.
