Littmann 3M™ Littmann® 5868 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 stethoscope Classic III features high acoustic sensitivity for exceptional performance, in addition to a versatile dual-sided chest piece and adjustable membranes. Used by students and doctors alike to identify sounds of the heart, lungs, and other body sounds, listen to them, study them, for physical assessment, patient monitoring, and diagnosis. Adjustable diaphragm technology - from the innovation of 3M - enables doctors to hear sounds of different frequencies simply by adjusting 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 headsets can be easily adjusted for 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 firmly 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 those with high sensitivity and their patients. To ensure human and environmental health 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-fitting ear tips, a cold-resistant jelly cover, and a user manual. Dual-sided 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 for children can be converted into a traditional open bell by replacing the single-piece diaphragm with the included non-cold edge. The new flexible tubes have a longer lifespan 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 more reliable and consistent listening to heart sounds 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.
