Abstract: A cover for a proximal end of a connector attached to a catheter to receive an injection device. The cover comprises a body portion configured and dimensioned to receive at least a portion of an outer surface of the connector, a securement portion providing an engagement force on the connector for securing the cover to the connector, a removable cap having an internal portion with an anti-microbial agent, and a flexible member connecting the removable cap to the body portion.

Abstract: A fiber optic probe is provided for use in viewing remote images, such as in vivo images in a biomedical environment or the like. The probe includes a tubular outer casing having an optical fiber of generally ring-shaped cross section, in combination with an inner fiber cable extending coaxially within the casing and defined by a coherent matrix or bundle of optical fibers. At a selected position spaced from a tip end of the probe, the inner cable passes through a gap in the fiber ring to the exterior of the casing for separate and relatively convenient coupling of the fiber ring and cable respectively to a light source and to image monitoring apparatus.
