Invents introduces "Care Cover" a disposable stethoscope cover ending transmittal of bacteria and fluids between patients.
New York, NY, August 12, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Individuals go to physicians and/or hospitals because of an illness or to be proclaimed by the professional staff that he or she is in good health. Unfortunately it is possible to acquire infections from contaminated surfaces when one is a patient. The Care Cover was designed to prevent that happening. It is a disposable, single-use cover for the chest-piece and lower tube of a stethoscope. It works in a way similar to medical personnel using fresh exam gloves in order to prevent transfer of bacteria, body fluid, fungi and viruses by the hands of those involved in patient care.
The Care Cover does the same for the stethoscope as disposable latex gloves do for a caregiver’s hands. It covers any shape stethoscope and is easy to put on and easy to remove. It can be removed after seeing each patient leaving it ready for totally clean subsequent use. It eliminates one source of hospital-acquired infection as well as possible infection following a visit to the doctor's office.
The Patent Pending Care Cover was invented by Carri Lakes of Highland, CA who said, “I am an RN currently working in an Intensive Care Unit of a hospital. I am acutely aware of the need to keep myself and my hands free of germs and other pathogens. Hanging the stethoscope around my neck between patients risks it rubbing against my uniform, which then has the potential to transmit bacteria to something or someone else. Disinfectant wipes ruin these costly medical tools but the Care Cover solves the problem of keeping myself and my “tools” free of potential germs and other pathogens. It's a simple and convenient solution to prevent this growing problem in healthcare.”
