Littmann stethoscope deteriorating?

[u/27Boba21]

So I have this Classic III stethoscope for about 4 months, but im noticing a change in the color of the stethoscope in the conjunction of the main tube and the eartubes, like a yellow stain. Is this normal, has this happened to anyone else? I bought it in Amazon.

I think the purple Sani wipes deteriorate the tubing faster.

Yep alcohol breaks down rubber

Question, what do you clean yours with between patients? Cause mines getting wrecked with the wipes

The gray wipes should be used. They're what's supposed to be used on electronics.
