    Abstract: A modular stethoscope includes a first module including a chestpiece and a first tubing disposed in fluid communication with and connected to the chestpiece. The chestpiece is configured to transmit acoustic waves through the first tubing. The modular stethoscope further includes a second module detachably connected to the first module. The second module includes a second tubing and a headset disposed in fluid communication with the second tubing. The modular stethoscope further includes a tube connector fluidly disposed between the first tubing of the first module and the second tubing of the second module. The tube connector is detachably connected to the first tubing of the first module. The tube connector includes a first part, a second part, and a quick coupling member configured to detachably and scalably connect the first part to the second part to acoustically couple the first tubing to the second tubing.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to an ergonomic chestpiece for a stethoscope. The chestpiece includes a bottom surface which is generally planar and adapted to be placed near the patient for receiving auscultatory sounds. The chestpiece includes a raised center portion defining first and second lateral indented gripping surfaces, the raised center portion having a top surface opposite the bottom surface. The chestpiece includes a stem portion extending distally from the raised center portion. The first lateral indented gripping surface is defined by a first wall comprising a first concave surface arcuate about a first axis and the second lateral indented gripping surface is defined by a second wall comprising a second concave surface arcuate about a second axis. The first axis and the second axis form a V-shape comprising an apex oriented in a direction of the stem portion.

    Abstract: An electronic stethoscope includes a housing configured for hand-held manipulation, a transducer supported by the housing and configured to sense auscultation signals at a first location, and a headset coupled to the housing and configured to deliver audio corresponding to the auscultation signals through earpieces on the headset. The electronic stethoscope further includes a processor disposed in the housing and configured to convert the auscultation signals to first digital signals representative of the auscultation signals and to wirelessly transmit the first digital signals from the electronic stethoscope via a secure digital network to a second location such that the audio corresponding to the auscultation signals is provided to headsets of one or more additional electronic stethoscopes at the second location in substantial real time with the sensing of the auscultation sounds at the first location.

    Abstract: Tubular medical articles have an interior surface and an exterior surface. At least a portion of the exterior surface of the tube is a printed surface, with a transparent vapor-deposited coating of a barrier polymer covering the exterior surface of the tube. The tube is a polymer composition containing one or more extractable components. The transparent vapor-deposited coating of a barrier polymer is derived from at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer. The printed surface is visible through the barrier polymer layer. The vapor-deposited polymer coating barrier reduces the extraction of extractable component(s) from the tube as well as protecting the printed surface.
