After 23 years as a Physician Assistant, Rachel Rigdon has worked in some of the most demanding clinical environments in medicine — Cardiothoracic Surgery, Emergency Medicine, Pain Management, and Urgent Care.
She knows what it means to be on your feet for a 12-hour shift with no margin for error. And she knows firsthand what it feels like to end that shift with a stiff neck, an aching back, and a stethoscope that spent the day draped around her like dead weight.
So she did something about it.
Working long stretches in the emergency room, Rachel started improvising — attaching her stethoscope to her retractable badge holder to take the strain off her neck. It was rudimentary. It wasn’t pretty. But it worked. And she realized there had to be a better way.
Last year, she turned that idea into something real. Something functional. Something that healthcare professionals actually deserve — a thoughtfully designed, aesthetically pleasing clip that keeps your stethoscope secure, accessible, and right where you need it throughout your entire shift.
That’s ScopeClip.
Built from clinical experience. Designed for real life in healthcare.
Rachel created ScopeClip because no one else had. Not an engineer behind a desk, not a product team running focus groups — a PA who has spent over two decades on the floor, in the room, doing the work.
She hopes you love it as much as she does.
