ABSTRACT:
A patient's discomfort from a cold stethoscope head is avoided by a disposable fabric cover. The cover is disposed between the stethoscope face and the patient's skin and permits the patient's chest sounds and the like to be transmitted through to the stethoscope face at a sufficient level to be amplified and rendered audible by the stethoscope. Such sound transmission may be through the fabric itself or through a port defined in the fabric radially inward from the periphery of the stethoscope face. An elasticized outer hem permits the cover to be easily placed onto and removed from the stethoscope. The inexpensive cover can be economically discarded after a single use and replaced so as to avoid transmission of contagious diseases between successive patients examined with the same stethoscope.
