45415CAN3A ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An ergonometric chestpiece (12) for a stethoscope (10) adapted to receive auscultatory sounds from a body and adapted to be coupled to an earpiece (18 and 20) for a user. The chestpiece (12) is adapted to be grasped by a thumb and at least one finger of the user. The chestpiece (12) has a bottom surface (36) which is generally planar and is adapted to be placed near the body for receiving the auscultatory sounds. The chestpiece (12) has an upper portion opposite the bottom surface (36). The upper portion has a raised center portion (26) defining left and right gripping surfaces (28 and 30) which form recesses defined by the left and right gripping surfaces (28 and 30) and by a surface generally parallel to but opposite the bottom surface (36). The left and right gripping surfaces (28 and 30) are adapted to receive the thumb and the finger of the user. Left and right gripping surfaces (28 and 30) along with the surface generally parallel to but opposite the bottom surface (36) form a physical stop for the thumb and the finger from contacting to body when the thumb and finger grasp the raised center of the upper portion. The gripping surfaces (28 and 30) may be defined by left and right walls disposed generally normal to the bottom surface (36). The left and right walls may be concave. The ergonometric chestpiece (12) may be generally circular and the left and right walls may be cylindrically concave around axes generally orthogonal to the bottom surface (36). The top surface of the raised center portion (26) may be sloped with respect to the bottom surface (36), the top surface being closer to the bottom surface (36) at the front of the chestpiece (12) than at the rear of the chestpiece (12).
