First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A medical sterile cover comprising: a layered structure in which a plurality of covering members that cover a medical observation apparatus to ensure a sterile state of the medical observation apparatus is layered; and a detachment section configured to detach the layered plurality of covering members layer by layer. 2 . The medical sterile cover according to claim 1 , wherein a portion of the medical sterile cover has the layered structure. 3 . The medical sterile cover according to claim 2 , wherein the medical observation apparatus is provided with an imaging device, and an arm supporting the imaging device and including a plurality of links joined to each other by one or a plurality of joint sections, and the portion of the medical sterile cover is a part corresponding to the imaging device and a portion of the arm. 4 . The medical sterile cover according to claim 1 , wherein the detachment section is formed in the plurality of covering members. 5 . The medical sterile cover according to claim 4 , wherein the detachment section is perforations formed in the plurality of covering members. 6 . The medical sterile cover according to claim 5 , wherein two sets of the perforations are formed approximately parallel. 7 . The medical sterile cover according to claim 1 , further comprising: a detachment assistance member configured to assist with the detachment of the plurality of covering members by the detachment section. 8 . The medical sterile cover according to claim 7 , wherein the detachment assistance member is detaching tape affixed to one end of the detachment section. 9 . The medical sterile cover according to claim 7 , wherein the detachment assistance member is a string-like member disposed along the detachment section formed in the plurality of covering members. 10 . The medical sterile cover according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of covering members is tubular. 11 . A medical observation apparatus comprising: an arm including a plurality of links joined to each other by one or a plurality of joint sections; an imaging device supported by the arm; and a medical sterile cover, wherein the medical sterile cover includes a layered structure in which a plurality of covering members that cover the imaging device and at least a portion of the arm to ensure a sterile state of the covered part is layered, and a detachment section configured to detach the layered plurality of covering members layer by layer.
