Abstract: “SafeScope Caps” are a new revolutionary idea in the healthcare industry. The “SafeScope Caps” are small and bag-like with an elastic opening. The caps are made completely of latex or vinyl. The caps fit directly over the end of any stethoscope (bell or flat shaped), which is the portion that comes in direct contact with the patient. The caps are disposable, and do not interfere with patient assessment. The “SafeScope Cap” creates a barrier between the patient and stethoscope and helps prevent the likelihood of spreading harmful microorganisms from one patient to another, which may lead to the development of nosocomial infections.
