Littmann® 3M™ Littmann® 5806 Classic III™ Doctor's Stethoscope

3M™ Littmann Classic III is the latest version of the stethoscope, helps millions of doctors achieve the best performance. The Classic III stethoscope features high acoustic sensitivity for exceptional performance, as well as a versatile dual-head chest piece and adjustable membranes. Used by students and doctors alike to identify heart, lung, and other body sounds, listen to them, and study them for physical assessment, patient monitoring, and diagnosis. The adjustable diaphragm technology - invented by 3M - enables doctors to hear sounds of different frequencies by simply adjusting the pressure on the chest piece. Hold the chest piece with light pressure to hear low-frequency sounds, and press a little more to hear higher-frequency sounds. This time-saving feature allows the healthcare provider to focus on the patient, while the uncooled diaphragm provides comfort for the patient. The headband can be easily adjusted to fit the head size and comfort by pressing the ear tubes together or apart. The snug and soft ear tips fit each ear individually, providing excellent sound isolation and comfortable fit. The ear tips are securely attached to the ear tubes, and for safety reasons, removing them requires significant effort. The new generation flexible tubes maintain their shape and flexibility even after being tightly folded and placed in a pocket. They also extend the life of the stethoscope thanks to their improved resistance to skin oils and alcohol, and are less prone to staining. The new generation tubes are not made from natural latex rubber, benefiting highly sensitive doctors and their patients. To ensure human health and environmental protection, the new generation tubes contain no phthalates. The Classic III stethoscope is made in the USA to ensure consistent quality. Comes with large and small snug ear tips, a cold-resistant jelly cover, and a user manual. A dual-head chest piece with adjustable membranes on both sides for adults and children. The adjustable single-piece diaphragm is easy to install and easier to clean because of its smooth, crack-free surface. The side designated for children can be converted into a traditional open bell by replacing the single-piece diaphragm with the included non-cold edge. The next-generation tubes last longer due to improved resistance to skin oils and alcohol; they are also less prone to staining. The small adjustable diaphragm is useful for pediatric or small or thin patients; around dressings; and for carotid artery assessment. More than twice the sound of the next leading stethoscope. Allows you to hear heart sounds more reliably and consistently at low frequencies (less than 120 Hz*) such as Korotkoff sounds, mitral stenosis, and S3 and S4 Gallops compared to other leading stethoscopes. Weighs less** than other medical stethoscopes. Five-year warranty on this product includes free repairs during this period for any manufacturing or material defect. We present to you the all-new Littmann Classic III from 3M Littmann. With its first major update in 18 years, the stethoscope has reached a new level of standards in this field! The Classic 3 stethoscope introduces new design, materials, and techniques to the Littmann medical stethoscope series, trusted and used by millions of doctors worldwide for decades. Thanks to a dual-sided chest piece, double adjustable membranes, enhanced tubing, and much more, the Classic 3 combines the best of new and traditional. As with the Cardiology III, full listening for adults and children is available through the dual-head chest piece, simply by rotating the central slide to switch sides. The improved diaphragm and edge sets, made from a single piece and more snug, increase sound sensitivity. The dual-head chest piece has been redesigned with larger diameter ear tubes and a thicker single cavity dual-head to transmit sound more efficiently. The selection slide is now recessed to fit the dual tube evenly, and it features a visual indicator for easy identification of the active diaphragm. Features: new dual-membrane chest piece for adult and pediatric assessment. New: the pediatric side can also be easily converted into a traditional open bell by replacing the single-piece diaphragm with the included non-cold edge. The new chest piece is precisely manufactured to have a pleasing aesthetic shape with fewer angles. A new single-piece membrane replaces the separate diaphragm/edge, making it easier to install and clean due to its smooth, unbroken surface. New: the stem features an open side indicator for easy identification of the active diaphragm. The next-generation tubes last longer thanks to improved resistance to skin oils, alcohol, and stains.
