  • Easy to open packaging
  • Easy entry & removal of the iPad
  • A pictorial guide on how to use the sleeve.

The article summarizes its findings thusly:

While no medical device or sterile barrier can guarantee sterility if improperly used, this device appears to satisfy regulatory requirements for sterile barriers and, when used with an iPad that has been appropriately cleansed, should satisfy most hospitals’ requirements for operating room use.

Have you tried this covering on your iPad? How did it work for you? Tell us!
