A stethoscope cover incorporated into an isolation garment which cover
operably retains the stethoscope listening device and at least a portion
of the stethoscope sound tube so that a doctor or nurse can put on an
isolation garment and use their preferred stethoscope to examine a
patient because the portions of the stethoscope which come in contact
with a patient or are near the patient are protected from coming directly
in contact with the patient by the stethoscope cover. Preferred
embodiments include having the opening of the stethoscope cover attached
at the neck opening of the isolation garment or attached at a location
below the neck opening.
