Abstract

The invention concerns a diaphragm for the hygienic protection of a stethoscope formed by a thin and flexible latex or rubber cap, provided with a gripping hem (28) at its periphery. The diaphragm (26) has substantially the same diameter as the auscultation attachment to be protected. A ring-shaped cavity (30) is provided between the hem (28) and the back wall (32) facilitating the symmetrical adaptation of the diaphragm (26) on the attachment peripheral edge. The assembly is arranged so that the hem (28) matches perfectly the edge outline without the need for stretching and elastic deformation by drawing when said diaphragm (26) is set in place.

Description

L'invention a pour objet un disque de protection de la membrane d'un
stéthoscope, à usage unique, à placer sur la membrane d'un stéthoscope médical et à
retirer aprés l'examen afin d'éviter la transmission de germes entre patients.The subject of the invention is a membrane protection disc for a
disposable stethoscope, to be placed on the membrane of a medical stethoscope and
remove after examination to avoid transmission of germs between patients.

I1 est connu un systéme de protection adhésif, notamment selon le brevet
2734704, d'un usage moins pratique, moins sûr, et d'une fabrication moins
aisée que le dispositif décrit id. I1 is known an adhesive protection system, in particular according to the patent
2734704, less practical, less safe, and less manufactured
easy as the device described id.

L'invention a pour objet de remédier aux inconvénients ci dessus et sera mieux
comprise en se reférant aux figures:
La figure 1 représentant une vue en coupe
La figure 2 représentant une vue de dessus
La figure 3 représentant une vue en place
Ce dispositif consiste en une membrane souple (1) ourlé à sa périphérie (2) à placer à
l'extrémité d'un stéthoscope en contact avec le patient (3) avant l'auscultation et à retirer ensuite.The object of the invention is to remedy the above drawbacks and will be better
understood with reference to the figures:
Figure 1 showing a sectional view
Figure 2 showing a top view
Figure 3 showing a view in place
This device consists of a flexible membrane (1) hemmed at its periphery (2) to be placed
the end of a stethoscope in contact with the patient (3) before auscultation and then to be removed.

Le disque pourra présenter différentes dimensions afin de l'adapter sur les differents stéthoscopes (enfants, adultes..). Les disques pourront etre conditionnés de
differentes façons: soit en vrac dans une boite ou ils seront alors simplement propres,
is emballage individuel, soit stériles sous une enveloppe individuelle. The disc may have different dimensions in order to adapt it to the different stethoscopes (children, adults, etc.). The discs can be conditioned with
different ways: either loose in a box where they will then be simply clean,
is individually wrapped, or sterile in an individual envelope.

Les avantages de ce dispositf par rapport aux procédés préalablement décrits sont les suivants:
- Utilisation d'une seule matiére, donc une fabrication plus simple et un cout
moins élevé.The advantages of this device compared to the methods previously described are as follows:
- Use of a single material, therefore a simpler manufacturing and a cost
lower.

-Une couverture de la totalité de la membrane et des bords du stéthoscope, une
mise en place plus facile et forcément adaptée (impossibilité de mal placer le
disque), ce qui implique une hygiène plus sûre.-A cover of the entire membrane and the edges of the stethoscope, a
easier and necessarily adapted installation (impossibility of misplacing the
disc), which implies safer hygiene.

-un conditionnement plus simple. - simpler packaging.

-Chez un patient alité, la possibilité de laisser par exemple une journée le disque au chevet du patient, le même disque pouvant être utilisé par les différents intervenant auprés du malade. -In a bedridden patient, the possibility of leaving for example a day the disc at the bedside of the patient, the same disc being able to be used by the various interveners near the patient.

-La possibilité d'avoir des disques stériles pour les patients à hauts risques. -The possibility of having sterile discs for high risk patients.
