  • Patent number: 6033392
    Abstract: A bag for securing an irrigation syringe to an IV pole includes a first sheet of flexible material having four sides, and a second sheet of flexible material having four sides which are sealingly attached to the first sheet along three sides thereof. The unsealed side of the second sheet defines a mouth for accessing the interior of the bag. The interior region is sized for receiving the irrigation syringe therein. A flap which is sealingly attached to the first sheet at the top of the sheet extends over the mouth in such a manner that it closes the mouth of the bag to prevent airborne particulates from entering the bag, thus protecting the syringe. A slot formed in the first sheet is provided for securing the bag to an IV pole. The inner surfaces of the first and second sheets and the flap are treated with anti-microbial material for substantially inhibiting bacteria on the syringe.
