Description
The Proscope 664Y is a single-patient disposable scope in high-visibility yellow, made to be used for one isolation stay and then discarded with the precautions. It gives infection-control teams a real diaphragm chestpiece for assessments where a shared scope is not an option.
- Disposable ABS chestpiece – The diaphragm-only head uses ABS construction with a non-chill rim, so single-patient use stays affordable.
- Isolation-ready yellow – The bright yellow build is easy to spot and matches isolation-room color conventions at a glance.
- May be ETO sterilized – The scope may be ethylene-oxide sterilized when a unit's protocol requires it before use.
- Individually polybagged – Each scope ships sealed in its own polybag for clean distribution to rooms and carts.
Single-Patient Auscultation for Isolation Care
This disposable stethoscope exists for the rooms where reusable instruments should not travel: isolation, cohort, and high-risk single-patient stays. Its diaphragm-only ABS chestpiece with a non-chill rim still supports blood pressure measurement and basic heart and lung checks. Aluminum binaurals and 22 inches of PVC Y-tubing keep the format familiar, so no retraining is needed when staff pick one up. Infection preventionists, isolation-unit nurses, and EMS teams get an assessment tool that leaves with the patient's precautions, not to the next room. It weighs 2.5 ounces and measures 32 inches overall.

Why Choose This Disposable Stethoscope
Isolation care forces a bad choice between skipping auscultation and carrying a reusable scope through precautions. A capable disposable removes the dilemma for the price of a supply item. This model's metal binaurals and non-chill diaphragm rim keep it a genuine assessment tool rather than a token gesture.
- Infection-control first – Single-patient use ends the shared-scope question in isolation and cohort rooms.
- Better than all-plastic disposables – Aluminum binaurals and a non-chill rim preserve fit and patient comfort.
- Visible at a glance – The yellow build signals precaution status to everyone entering the room.
- Stocking-friendly – Individually polybagged in cases of 50, ready for par carts and isolation supply rooms.
