The BATCLIP (Black) - Premium Leather Handmade Clip-on Stethoscope Hip Holder; no More Neck Carrying

Product Description

BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS. The BATCLIP is the genuine article! Tired of carrying your stethoscope on your neck or misplacing it after setting it down? Want a solution that reflects the profiency symbolized by your stethoscope?

The BATCLIP is an elegant handmade holder that secures your stethoscope for quick access and trouble-free carrying.Two leather wings lined with hook-and-loop material (the same industrial grade "Velcro" used in blood pressure cuffs) hold your scope securely alongside your hlp. A military-grade metal clip firmly attaches the BATCLIP to your belt, pants, or scrubs.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE.

First, clip on the empty BATCLIP. The optimal place to attach the BATCLIP is at the midaxillary line on the left hip, clipped to a belt or pant waistband. (The metal clip can be used with scrubs but may need padding - knuckle bandage or similar - if the clip lies against bare skin.) Placement on the left hip ensures that the opening leather wing is facing backward, so that it cannot get caught on anything that would inadvertently pull it open.

Midaxillary placement allows the BATCLIP to be out of the way when sitting, walking, running, or boarding an ambulance or helicopter. Too far forward and it gets in the way of things like a pants pocket, grasping hand, or doorknob. Too far back and it impedes comfortable seating. Thus, midaxillary line is usually best. (For those with wide hips, placement slightly behind the midaxillary line is sometimes more comfortable.)

Second, get the stethoscope ready for holstering into the BATCLIP by tucking the head (the diaphragm and bell) of the stethoscope inside the top of the round space made by pushing both earpiece arms together (see photos). Open the two BATCLIP wings, place the head-and-earpiece assembly inside, and close the wings so that the stethoscope head lays on top of the wings. The stethoscope tubing should hang below the BATCLIP.

Features

• DISTINCTIVE, PROFESSIONAL, TOP-OF-THE-LINE QUALITY. Individually made in Maine from hand-picked cow hides, the BATCLIP holster provides an elegant carrying solution that matches the value that physicians (and all healthcare workers) place in their stethoscopes. Unlike the newer plastic hip clips, the BATCLIP simply feels better in the hand. Its lineage includes the venerable leather doctor’s bag. Both improve with age are built for a lifetime of proud distinguished use.
• DESIGNED BY AN EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN seeking a solution to repeated misplacement and loss of his own stethoscopes. His criteria for an ideal stethoscope carrying solution included extreme portability; durability against water, weather, and age; a fail-safe scope-securing mechanism; quick scope access; and simple scope re-holstering.
• >20 YEARS OF TESTING. The original prototype, from 1995, has undergone over a dozen substantive improvements based on the inventor’s use in his hospital, EMS, and rural developing world medical practices. Upgrades have included changes in materials (ballistic nylon to leather), fasteners (plastic to metal clips), shape (short to long wings), and even thread types. The fundamental driving force has always been to create the best stethoscope carrying solution for real-world medical practice.
• MANY STETHOSCOPE VARIANTS, ONE BATCLIP. Based on feedback from doctors, nurses, paramedics, veterinarians, and medical students, the BATCLIP is designed to accommodate many variations in scope design. Originally sized to work with the Littman Classic, the holder was redesigned in 2012 to work with scopes having a variety of head sizes. The BATCLIP now fits most types of adult and pediatric stethoscopes, including the single-head Cardiology and electronic or amplified stethoscopes.
• NO HASSLE WARRANTY. We’re proud of our products. (Our other one, the BATCLIP SHEARS, includes titanium trauma scissors.) Unlike the makers of once-use disposable medical goods, we make BATCLIPs to last for a lifetime. Made with love and care in a small multi-generation family-owned leather shop, the BATCLIP works better, lasts longer, and has achieved a superior reputation because of its success in actual use. Thus, if anything ever goes wrong with your BATCLIP, we will repair or replace it.
