Stethoscope covers are placed around the stethoscope's rubber tube to protect them from wear and stains. They are also used for identification in hospitals to keep stethoscopes from getting misplaced or exchanged. Some covers come with tags for easier identification. They usually leave the ear tubes and earpieces open, so that the stethoscope can be used while covered.
Fit: Choose a stethoscope cover that fits snugly over the rubber tubes. Make sure it will not slide or slip off when you lift the chestpiece. Look for one with fitted or drawstring ends to hold them in place.
Texture: Choose a stethoscope cover with a smooth or padded interior. Check the inner lining for any loose threads or patches that can scratch against the tubes. If you want a denim cover, make sure the inside is perfectly smooth or lined with a softer fabric.
