How to put my name on my stethoscope?

Hi, I'm a first year starting in a few weeks, and bought a Littman. I've heard that these tend to "walk" pretty easy, and so I would like to put my name on it. Any suggestions? TIA :balloons:

Hey, I use the red allergy bracelets that they have at the hospital and attatch it to my stethascope

I ordered mine from the states at a company that engraved my name on it.

You can engrave it, that is the most permanent. Any other tags can be easily cut off. You can use the same equipment that they use for engraving oth ermetal objects. Just check at any home store.

One of the nurses has a dog bone shaped tag that she got engraved at Walmart for 2 bucks. Other nurses use the hospital bracelets they put on babies when they are born. I use the name tag that came with my steth.

Name tags can be cut and removed. They do not help at all.

Engrave it! No one can remove it that way :)

Congrats on your first year. :p

Does engraving the metal part of a diaphragm of a stethoscope damage the acoustics in any way? Just wondering. :)

I think I will engrave mine and put a dog tag on mine. ....and I better not find anyone trying to walk off with it! :smiley_ab :chuckle

If you look on Ebay...there is a lady that sells these really cute beaded name tags for stethescopes. She sells them in lots but I imagine if you contacted her she'd sell them individually. I just saw them a few minutes ago. They were so cute!

I was told no. It makes sense, the sounds are disapated (sp?)into the chest piece and through the tubing. As long as there are no punctures you are good.:)
