A disposable shield designed to sheath a patient control device prevents contaminants from contacting or entering the device. The shield has a bi-directional opening through which the hand-operated device is inserted and removed from the shield. A removable sealing device is used to preserve the integrity of the shield when the sealing device is removed. The shield can therefore be changed each time the device is handled by a different person, minimizing the chances of cross-contamination. The shield also extends the life of the device by preventing biological contaminants from contacting the device.

What is claimed is: 1. A sanitary hand-held nursecall device comprising: a shield including: a sheath portion having a sheath shape that substantially conforms to a device shape of the hand-held nursecall device, wherein the sheath portion is made of a flexible, resilient material that blocks biological contaminants from reaching the hand-held nursecall device; a bi-directional passage having an open edge that facilitates insertion and removal of the hand-held nursecall device into the sheath portion; and a removable sealing device that closes the bi-directional passage after the hand-held nursecall device has been inserted into the sheath portion; a hand-held nursecall device disposed within the shield; and a backing, wherein the shield is removably disposed on the backing and the removable sealing device is also removably disposed on the backing. 2. The sanitary hand-held nursecall device of claim 1, wherein the flexible material is a synthetic material. 3. The sanitary hand-held nursecall device of claim 2, wherein the synthetic material is one selected from the group consisting of polyurethane, vinyl, latex, and nitrile. 4. The sanitary hand-held nursecall device of claim 1, wherein the flexible material is one selected from a woven material and a film material. 5. The sanitary hand-held nursecall device of claim 1, wherein the flexible material is a light-passing material. 6. The sanitary hand-held nursecall device of claim 1, further comprising an elevation, wherein the elevation is disposed over a control on the hand-held patient control device when the hand-held patient control device is inserted into the sheath portion. 7. The sanitary hand-held nursecall device of claim 1, wherein the removable sealing device is one selected from the group consisting of an adhesive strip and a clamp. 8. The sanitary hand-held nursecall device of claim 1, wherein the hand-held nursecall device includes a cord portion and the removable sealing device is disposed around the cord portion to close the bi-directional passage around the cord portion, wherein the removable sealing device is one selected from the group consisting of an adhesive strip and a clamp. 9. A shield for a hand-operated patient control device, the shield comprising: a sheath portion having a sheath shape that substantially conforms to a device shape of the hand-operated patient control device, wherein the sheath portion is made of a flexible, resilient material that blocks biological contaminants from reaching the hand-held patient control device; a bi-directional passage having an open edge that facilitates insertion and removal of the hand-operated patient control device into the sheath portion; a removable sealing device that closes the bi-directional passage after the hand-operated patient control device has been inserted into the sheath portion; and a backing, wherein the shield is removably disposed on the backing, and wherein the removable sealing device is also removably disposed on the backing. 10. A shield for a hand-held nursecall device having at least one control, the shield comprising: a sheath portion having a sheath shape that substantially conforms to a device shape of the hand-held nursecall device; at least one elevation formed in the sheath portion, wherein the at least one elevation is disposed over the at least one control when the hand-held nursecall device is inserted into the shield; a bi-directional passage having an open edge that facilitates insertion and removal of the hand-held nursecall device into the sheath portion; a removable sealing device that closes the bi-directional passage after the hand-held nursecall device has been inserted into the sheath portion, wherein the removable sealing device is disposed around a cord connected to the hand-held nursecall device; and a backing supporting the shield, wherein the removable sealing device is also removably disposed on the backing, wherein the shield is made of a flexible, resilient, light-passing material that blocks biological contaminants from reaching the hand-held nursecall device and is removable from the backing. 11. The shield of claim 10, wherein the flexible, resilient, light-passing material is one selected from the group consisting or polyurethane, vinyl, latex, and nitrile. 12. The shield of claim 10, wherein the removable sealing device is one selected from the group consisting of an adhesive strip and a clamp.
