Stethoscope Cover : What is it?

stethoscopecovers1

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.

Kinds of Stethoscope Covers include the following:

Cotton/flannel stethoscope covers

  • These stethoscope covers are made from soft cotton, flannel, or a combination of the two.
  • They are very soft and provide adequate protection against scratches and bumps.

Denim stethoscope covers

  • Denim stethoscope covers are slightly thicker and rougher than cotton and flannel covers.
  • They are usually washed or softened on the inside to keep from scratching the rubber tubes.

Animal stethoscope covers

  • Animal stethoscope covers are shaped like animals and are usually filled with foam.
  • They are used by pediatricians to reduce anxiety and feat in younger patients.

Choosing Stethoscope Covers (Buying Tips)

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.
