Bedside Conrollers found in the Western General Hospital
Headphones
 

Some wards use the plastic tube style. The tube is pushed onto a plastic spigot in the bedside panel behind the bed.

The earpieces may be replaced separately for infection control so long as the tube is wiped clean.

Most wards have a stock of these and ward clerks know how to order.
