Title: Method of manufacturing cover for stirrup of physician's examination table

Abstract: A cover (36) is disclosed for use on the stirrups (12, 14) of a physician's examination table (10), to provide cushioned, comfortable surfaces against which the patient's feet rest during examination. Two layers (38, 42) of polymeric foam are joined to form a pocket (56) which slips over the stirrup from the top side (18) thereof. The exterior side (38) of the pocket which faces the examination table includes an upstanding wall (58) of foam material which cushions and protects the patient's heel from contact with bottom side (24, 26) of the stirrup. A method of making such a cover also is disclosed.
