How to put my name on my stethoscope?

Mandarella · Aug 22, 2005

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.:)

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

If your tubing is light enough, write your name right on the tubing in black pen (not sharpie, just a regular ball pt pen) When you wipe over it with an alcohol wipe it will fade very slightly but still be readable, never fades completely.

Get a permanent marker in gold or silver and write your name on the tubing. Also, I just got one of those supercharms on eBay engraved with my name and initials and used the charms to make a little ID tag. It looks classy. And a big also ---> never lend it. If a doctor or nurse or whomever needs a stethoscope at work, then they should be bringing their own with them. I just tell people, nicely, "no" and if they protest then I tell them that they don't want my ear infection. That always does the trick. :rotfl:

I took mine to a jewler and had my name engraved on the metal head.

Did not affect the acoustics at all.

Recently bought mine form Allheart, paid 8 or so dollars to have my name engraved. Looks Great and classy!

Mine has my name engraved on the metal tubing AND a name tag, but I'm seriously thinking about having it somehow permanently attached to my person. Especially since my CI warned me that somebody was sure to run off with my Littman Cardiology scope only to have HER abscond with it :lol2:

They do some fine looking work....

I had a jeweler engrave my name on the metal head. Once this stethoscope disappeared for 6 months. It was brought back to me by a nurse from another unit who recognized my name on it. Engraving cannot be removed without a lot of effort.

WOW! They do, do nice work, it looks so anyway. I think I will send mine out to them to get that angel put on it.

I really like "Where so ever you go, go with all your heart".

I've never seen engraving other than names, etc on stethoscopes....this opens up a world of possibilities.

My cardiology III has my name engraved on the tubing and a little pink heart tag hanging from it with my name too. They have all kinds of shapes and sizes of engraveable pet tags out there. Pick your favorite and attach it with a zip tie.
