Scopeshield helps protect the patient from virulent, potentially life-threatening staph infections including streptococcus pneumonia and staphylococcus aureus as well as viral and fungal infections. It is the first disposable protection against stethescope contamination and instantly reduces cross infection.

COMPARISON OF TECHNIQUES
PROTECTING A STETHESCOPE AGAINST CONTAMINATION
Alcohol, disinfectant soaps, disposable scopes have drawbacks
Advantage to using the Scopeshield
  • In an emergency there may not be time to disinfect
  • Soaps/sinks and antiseptics are not instantly at hand in all areas of the hospital
  • Swabbing and disinfecting a stethescope after every patient can add up to 2 or more hours in each day
  • Alcohol can be corrosive to the scope
  • Disposable scopes are a poor alternative because of the expense and disappointing sound quality
  • Easy to use: stick-on / peel off / discard
  • Always at hand; carries in a pocket
  • Adheres instantly
  • Cost effective in terms of price and time saved
  • Supervisory personnel can tell whether or not hospital workers are disinfecting between patients
