  • Stethoscope acoustic tubing that is disconnectable into separate segments
    Patent number: 11399797
    Abstract: A stethoscope includes a headset including a first eartube terminating in a first earpiece and a second eartube terminating in a second earpiece, and a chestpiece having a diaphragm. The stethoscope further includes flexible acoustic tubing having a first tubing segment connected to the headset and a second tubing segment connected to the chestpiece. The first tubing segment is manually disconnectable from the second tubing segment, and the first tubing segment is manually connectable to the second tubing segment to align and seal the first and second tubing segments and form an acoustic passageway extending from the chestpiece through the first and second tubing segments and the first and second eartubes to the first and second earpieces. Optionally, the flexible acoustic tubing with the disconnectable and connectable segments may be provided as a replacement component for a stethoscope.
