Abstract: A cover for a stethoscope head having a discontinuous layer of peelable adhesive in a predetermined pattern for detachable affixing to the head of the stethoscope including the diaphragm and the preselected pattern has a plurality of spaced apart adhesive segments and provides air flow passages from regions between the cover and the diaphragm to regions external the stethoscope to prevent the formation of air pockets and bubbles therebetween.

Abstract: A plurality of single diaphragm cover dispensable assemblies (11) each of which has a stethoscope diaphragm cover (12) having a thin plastic body member (16) to which there is applied a pressure sensitive adhesive layer (26) mounted on an adhesive protective layer (14) on a first surface (30). A stacking pressure sensitive adhesive layer (34) is on the adhesive protective layer (14) in a location spaced from the portion (28B) attached to the cover (12). The stacking pressure sensitive adhesive layer 34 may be on the first surface (30) or the second surface (32) of the adhesive protective layer (14). A plurality of the assemblies (11) are in a stacked aligned array with the stacking pressure sensitive adhesive layers (34) providing the detachable coupling of one assembly (11) to the next assembly (11) in the stack.

Abstract: A urine specimen cup with a cup portion and a lid portion mountable on the cup portion in a sealing relationship. The lid portion has walls defining an aperture therethrough and a flexible tab is mounted on the lid portion to cover the aperture and also extend over the rim of the lid portion to engage the cup portion. The first section of the tab which overlies the aperture is provided with a resealable adhesive to allow repeated lifting of the first section to provide access to the urine specimen in the cup and then be resealed. The second section of the tab has a permanent adhesive so that once adhered it provides a permanent seal between the cup and lid to insure integrity of the sample. A tear line is provided between the first and second sections of the tab to allow ultimate removal of the lid from the cup for disposal of the specimen.

Abstract: A cover for temporary securement to a rigid stethoscope head to completely cover a diaphragm within the interior of the stethoscope head and seal the interior and the diaphragm from the ambient atmosphere. The cover includes a flat, double-sided, thin plastic sheet and a layer of adhesive on a side of the sheet to releasably sealingly secure the cover to the outer rim surface of a stethoscope head.
