Abstract: Devices, methods and kits for reducing the likelihood of exposure to bodily fluid from a patient during the process of intubation and/or extubation of a tubular surgical device. Some of the bodily fluid guards can be used in conjunction with previously existing devices, while others are designed to be integrated with devices during manufacture of the devices. The bodily fluid guards has opposite superior and inferior ends with a wall that is configured to capture fluid and debris from the tubular surgical device, thereby preventing the bodily fluid and debris from contacting the patient, caregivers and surrounding equipment. In some embodiments, the bodily fluid guard includes a flexible, extendible sleeve wall to contain or substantially contain the device during extubation, thereby capturing any fluid and debris present on the device, wherein the wall can be releasably fixed to the device and to the patient to facilitate use.
