Device and draping method for facilitating introduction of a non-sterile container into a sterile environment

Abstract:

An improved device for enabling a non-sterile container of liquid, such as, for example, a bottle to be introduced into a sterile environment. In one embodiment, the device seals the non-sterile container within a drape so that the non-sterile container can be introduced into the sterile environment. The device may include a drape having an interior cavity for receiving the non-sterile container and a cap coupled to the enclosure for coupling to the non-sterile container so that the liquid product may flow through the sterile cap.
