Registered Nurse Invents Innovative Solution To Prevent Patient-To-Patient Germ Transfer Via Contaminated Stethoscopes.
When I think about children like my own being exposed to germs on unclean stethoscopes, I can't help but hope that StethoCLEANTM will be adopted as the standard for patient care.
A Registered Nurse since 1984, Mrs. Jennifer Giroux spent enough time in diverse clinical settings, such as Infectious Disease Units, to make a simple yet brilliant observation about one of the medical profession's most trusted devices: the stethoscope.Mrs. Giroux observed that stethoscopes are rarely cleaned between patients, and can thus easily spread infectious bacteria and other germs.
Mrs. Giroux Answers The Problem With The Innovative StethoCLEANTM Stethoscope Cover That Travels With The Healthcare Professional.
Through day-to-day contact with patients, Mrs. Giroux recognized the need for protection of the stethoscope. Because of the hectic pace of healthcare in literally every type of clinical setting today, stethoscopes are not sanitized properly on a regular basis. When Mrs. Giroux observed this harsh reality, she designed the StethoCLEANTM cover for stethoscopes.
Giroux Invents StethoCLEANTM To Cover Stethoscopes And Prevent Spread Of Germs From One Patient To Another.
The simple realization that skin-borne bacteria can be highly infectious is the driving force behind StethoCLEANTM. Mrs. Giroux's innovative StethoCLEANTM cover assures that no stethoscope need ever touch one patient's skin and then be placed on another patient unprotected. Mrs. Giroux invented and patented StethoCLEANTM so that it could be made available to clinical facilities around the world, and provides the easy to use, convenient, portable and disposable barrier protection essential to eliminating spread of disease from the skin of one patient to another. The result of one insightful nurse's observation of a risk to patient health and designed with the convenient feature of traveling with the healthcare professional for ease of use, StethoCLEANTM is today's latest essential measure of protection in virtually every clinical environment.
