Bassinette Cover Assembly

Abstract

A bassinette cover assembly for protecting the sterility of a sterilized bassinette in a medical setting includes a sheet that is comprised of a medical grade material to inhibit bacteria from passing therethrough. The sheet is positionable over a bassinette that has been sterilized to protect the sterility of the bassinette.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A bassinette cover assembly for placing over a sterilized bassinette that is awaiting use in a medical environment, said assembly comprising:
 a sheet being comprised of a medical grade material wherein said sheet is configured to inhibit bacteria from passing therethrough, said sheet being positionable over a bassinette that has been sterilized wherein said sheet is configured to protect the sterility of the bassinette.   
     
     
         2 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said sheet has a first surface, a second surface and a perimeter edge extending therebetween, said sheet being comprised of a mesh material, said sheet being positionable over an opening into the bassinette wherein said sheet is configured to inhibit bacteria from entering the bassinette. 
     
     
         3 . The assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein said perimeter edge is continuously arcuate about a center point of said sheet such that said sheet has an ovoid shape wherein said sheet is configured to accommodate a round bassinette. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein said perimeter edge has a plurality of intersecting sides such that said sheet has a rectangular shape wherein said sheet is configured to accommodate a rectangular bassinette. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein said elastomeric band is aligned with said perimeter edge, said elastomeric band being coextensive with said perimeter edge. 
     
     
         6 . A bassinette cover assembly for placing over a sterilized bassinette that is awaiting use in a medical environment, said assembly comprising:
 a sheet being comprised of a medical grade material wherein said sheet is configured to inhibit bacteria from passing therethrough, said sheet being positionable over a bassinette that has been sterilized wherein said sheet is configured to protect the sterility of the bassinette, said sheet having a first surface, a second surface and a perimeter edge extending therebetween, said sheet being comprised of a mesh material, said sheet being positionable over an opening into the bassinette wherein said sheet is configured to inhibit bacteria from entering the bassinette; and   an elastomeric being coupled to said sheet, said elastomeric band biasing said sheet around the bassinet wherein said elastomeric band is configured to retain said sheet on the bassinette, said elastomeric band is aligned with said perimeter edge, said elastomeric band being coextensive with said perimeter edge.   
     
     
         7 . A bassinette cover system for placing over a sterilized bassinette that is awaiting use in a medical environment, said assembly comprising:
 a bassinette having an opening extending therein wherein said bassinette is configured to house an infant;   a sheet being comprised of a medical grade material wherein said sheet is configured to inhibit bacteria from passing therethrough, said sheet being positionable over said bassinette after said bassinette has been sterilized to protect the sterility of said bassinette, said sheet having a first surface, a second surface and a perimeter edge extending therebetween, said sheet being comprised of a mesh material, said sheet being positionable over said opening into said bassinette wherein said sheet is configured to inhibit bacteria from entering said bassinette; and   an elastomeric being coupled to said sheet, said elastomeric band biasing said sheet around said bassinet to retain said sheet on said bassinette, said elastomeric band is aligned with said perimeter edge, said elastomeric band being coextensive with said perimeter edge.
