Benefits of technology

[0005]According to certain aspects of the present invention, devices for dispensing medical tape are provided, which are particularly configured to be reversibly attached to a medical stethoscope. Such devices allow healthcare practitioners to quickly and easily access medical tape when needed, such as during emergency medical procedures (when practitioners do not have time to search for a roll of tape). The devices of the present invention, in the most general form, include an element that is configured to receive and be disposed through a center hole of a roll of tape, and a means for attaching the device to a stethoscope.

Problems solved by technology

Such healthcare practitioners, including doctors, nurses, EMTs and paramedics, consistently carry their stethoscopes around their necks when not in use—and either do not have medical tape readily available, carry the tape in their pockets (which creates an uncomfortable bulge in such pockets), or have tape dangling freely on a part of their stethoscope.
None of these methods are ideal.
