Featuring Jackie Darling, RN and our ProCardial® BlackOut and Rose Gold Cardiology Stethoscope

To provide accurate auscultation, listen under the gown, providing trauma informed care but disinfect between patient use. To disinfect your stethoscope chestpiece, including the diaphragm and retaining ring that make patient contact, use 70% isopropyl prep pads to wipe clean. We recommend using 70% isopropyl to clean the metal parts of the stethoscope, including the chestpiece and headset.
