An inflatable speculum adapted to be positioned within an orifice includes an inflatable bladder. In an embodiment, when the inflatable bladder is inflated, the inflatable bladder includes a baffle member. The baffle member includes a plurality of baffles, and each of the plurality of baffles has a substantially trapezoidal cross-sectional shape. The inflatable bladder also includes an opening formed between a first end of the inflatable bladder and a second end of the inflatable bladder for viewing an inside of the orifice. In another embodiment, when the inflatable bladder is inflated, the inflatable bladder includes the opening formed between the first end of the inflatable bladder and the second end of the inflatable bladder, a pump and inflation line for inflating the inflatable bladder, and an applicator. Specifically, when the inflatable bladder is not inflated, a first member of the applicator encloses the inflatable bladder and a second member of the applicator is attached to the inflation line, and when the inflatable bladder is inflated, a portion of the first member is torn and the second member remains attached to the inflation line.

Inflatable speculums

A replaceable and disposable elastomeric soft diaphragm or cover for use with a stethoscope whereby said elastomeric soft diaphragm or cover is a molded piece of elastomer being sufficiently flexible allowing for simple application and removal, whereby said diaphragm or cover, when attached, forms an airtight seal with the stethoscope, and whereby device may act as a soft diaphragm in stethoscopes with removable rigid diaphragms with said rigid diaphragm removed or as a cover where said rigid diaphragm remains attached to said stethoscope.

Elastomeric anti-microbial stethoscope diaphragm

This invention discloses an ear tip used in connection with a stethoscope. Whereby the disclosed ear tip is formed of a single piece of molded elastomeric material that is inverted and sealed to form a sealed chamber that is filled with a liquid gelatin, whereby standard loads deform the liquid gelatin filled cavity under principles of displacement providing for the ear tips capability of contouring to the infinite variations and configurations of different outer ear canals, and thereby creating a complete acoustic seal between the outer surface of the ear tip and the outer ear of the user. Furthermore, this invention discloses a means of attachment to a listening device that facilitates the attachment and removal of the ear tip to the listening device.
