Reuters Feature: AseptiScope has been recognized with a special innovation award in the name of Dr. Robert Jesse: https://www.reuters.com/press-releases/aseptiscope-2025-dr-robert-jesse-award-innovation-veterans-health-2025-09-26/

This award honors the legacy of Dr. Robert L. Jesse, former Principal Deputy Under Secretary for Health and Acting Under Secretary for Health in the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and a 30-year advocate for veterans’ health and innovation.

Each year, The Jesse Family Foundation presents this recognition to organizations that demonstrate impactful contributions to healthcare innovation that improve the lives of veterans and beyond.

This year, AseptiScope has been bestowed this honor for The DiskCover System, an innovation that is changing the landscape of infection control in institutions across the country for stethoscope hygiene.

VA Medical Centers that have integrated this unique technology have validated its ability to improve clinical workflow while contributing substantially to protecting veterans from exposure to a full range of resistant pathogens during care.

Earlier this summer, results from its integration into a central line infection reduction program at the Memphis VA Medical Center were presented with exceptional outcomes.

AseptiScope has pledged to utilize the proceeds from this award to provide the unique, touch-free barrier dispensing units to interested VA’s across the country.

What is your facility's stethoscope hygiene policy? (Do they even have one?!)

Quality expert Cindy Cadwell shares a ready-to-use stethoscope hygiene policy and procedure template, built with the latest 2024 CDC and AORN guidance in mind.

We’ve had policies for hand hygiene for decades. Isn’t it time hygiene for the third hand, the stethoscope, catches up?

🔍 Are we overlooking a critical gap in CLABSI prevention?

You follow the bundle:
CHG bathing ✅
Sterile dressings ✅
Antiseptic line caps ✅

But then, a contaminated stethoscope touches the patient’s chest, right next to the central line.

Just like that, your best practices are undone.

The DiskCover System's stethoscope diaphragm barriers can block cross-contamination and protect the patient at the point of contact!

Rethink your CLABSI bundle by fitting in this missing piece!

A review co-authored by critical care, quality, and patient safety experts highlights a powerful case from a VA hospital: by adding a stethoscope diaphragm barrier to their infection prevention bundle, they achieved zero CLABSIs for over a year.

We’ve spent years perfecting bundles: CHG bathing, sterile dressings, line caps, but maybe the missing piece has been right in front of us all along!

AseptiScope Featured in The Silicon Review July Issue: “AseptiScope’s First Patient Safety Innovation Helps Hospitals Save Lives”!

We’re proud to share that The Silicon Review has spotlighted our mission to solve one of healthcare’s most overlooked patient safety risks, stethoscope contamination, in an interview with Scott Mader, AseptiScope Founder and CEO.

🔵 The stethoscope touches patients more than 5 billion times a year
🔵 It carries pathogens equivalent to unwashed hands
🔵 And until now, hospitals had no practical solution

The DiskCover® System is changing that. As highlighted in the article, healthcare providers are reporting real-world positive outcomes. With a touch-free, aseptic barrier that’s fast, visible, and effective, stethoscope hygiene is finally catching up to hand hygiene.

"We are thrilled to be able to help in the mission to save lives, save time, and reduce the cost of care.” – Scott Mader, CEO of AseptiScope

💡 “Would you ever touch a patient with dirty hands?” Your stethoscope is no different.

Clinicians wash their hands between patients, but what about the stethoscope, our “third hand”? It carries contaminants and pathogens from one patient to the next, and cleaning with alcohol often isn’t enough.

It’s time for a change in practice!
