Description

Love your stethoscope The compact and sensitive Littmann Classic III stethoscope is the perfect instrument for clinicians who monitor and assess children or adults in non-critical environments. Manufactured with strong yet lightweight materials for hours of comfortable use. The 3M™ Littmann® Classic III™ Stethoscope is the latest version of the stethoscope that helps millions of medical professionals achieve their best. The Classic III stethoscope offers high acoustic sensitivity for exceptional performance, plus a versatile two-sided chestpiece with tunable diaphragms. The Classic III stethoscope is used by students and medical professionals alike to identify, listen to, and study heart, lung, and other body sounds for physical assessment, patient monitoring, and diagnosis.Tunable diaphragm technology—a 3M invention—lets clinicians hear different frequency sounds by simply adjusting the pressure on the chestpiece. Hold the chestpiece with light pressure to hear low frequency sounds; press a little more to hear higher frequency sounds. This time-saving feature allows the healthcare provider to focus on the patient, while the non-chill diaphragm provides patient comfort.Headset tension is easily adjusted for head size and comfort by squeezing together or pulling apart the eartubes. Snap-tight, soft-sealing eartips conform to individual ears for an excellent acoustic seal and comfortable fit. Eartips snap firmly onto the ends of the eartubes and, for safety, require a significant effort to remove.Resilient next-generation tubing retains its shape and flexibility even after folding tightly into a pocket. It provides longer stethoscope life due to improved resistance to skin oils and alcohol, and is less likely to pick up stains. Next-generation tubing is not made with natural rubber latex, a benefit to sensitive medical professionals and their patients. And, to play its part in the protection of human health and the environment, the next-generation tubing does not contain phthalate plasticizers.The Classic III stethoscope is made in the USA for consistent quality. It comes complete with large and small soft-sealing eartips, non-chill bell sleeve, and instructions.Put the power of improved listening in your pocket with the Littmann Learning App. This powerful app is designed to help users better recognize benign and pathological heart sounds, murmurs, and lung sounds. It reinforces learning by offering self-directed learning modules directly on your phone. You can download the free Littmann Learning App now from the App Store® or Google Play Store®.

  • Great purchase! Champagne Rose
Color: Stainless-Finish Chestpiece Style: Champagne Rose Satin-Finish Tube
I love pink but wanted something different than my peers. This is the perfect nude pink color! I was skeptical due to reviews of authenticity but it registered on Littmann for their warranty with no issue. The sound is so clear and I regret cheating out on my CNA scope now that I’ve gotten this! Highly recommend. The box wasn’t sealed though but it appeared unused, clean, and undamaged. Came with instruction book, extra buds, and extra bell ring. ... show more

  • Love it
Color: Stainless-Finish Chestpiece Style: Pearl Pink Tube
The color is beautiful. I can hear very well out of it. I'm a nurse so I use it to access heart lung and bowel sounds. I love the quality of it

  • Amazing
Color: Stainless-Finish Chestpiece Style: Black Tube
I’ve had this stethoscope for 2 years now and looks just like it did when I opened the box for the first time. Very durable, but if I were to buy again, I would buy one with a bigger bell due to my specialty. Good for nurses and other medical staff depending on your specialty

  • The best!
Color: Stainless-Finish Chestpiece Style: Ceil Blue Tube
Bought this to replace the cheap one that came in my school pack and it’s very impressive how much better it is! I didn’t want to spend a crazy amount until after i graduate but my old one was not cutting it for manual bps or bowel sounds. This one is perfect and I know i’ll get years of use from it! ... show more

  • Littman vs MDF
Color: Stainless-Finish Chestpiece Style: Turquoise Tube
Im starting a job as a PCT EMT in the emergency department in a few weeks and I needed a good stethoscope that could hear well but I also wanted it to be lightweight, I had a hard time debating between the 2 so I just ended up ordering both. One will be returned so let’s see who wins this battle. - MDF : I really love rose gold and you don’t find many rose gold stethoscopes. • I do hear that many people have had issues with the white tube becoming discolored from their scrubs however I believe putting a clear coating on the tubing piece may help that or just getting a different colored tube like black would work. • MDF does come with lifetime warranty and free replacement parts. • I can say that compared to littman I did notice littman being a bit louder, however MDF did have decent sound! • The weight of the MDF is insane. Very heavy at the chest piece which gives the entire thing a pretty heavy feel around your neck. And the tubing is very thick. Not to mention it’s longer compared to Littman, (see pictures) so if you’re okay with a little extra weight or you have a thicker/ bigger chest then I say go for it! • Also to note, since it is rose gold the metal will start to tarnish, It hasn’t happened to mine because I haven’t used it yet, but with rose gold, it’s bound to happen, possibly putting some sort of clear coat might help slow the tarnishing process as well may help. But be aware that using alcohol to clean it, is just going to speed up the tarnishing process, just something to think about. • Also, the price for this stethoscope fluctuates up and down daily so if you’re debating on buying it, just do it and If you don’t like it return it! - LITTMAN • Littman offers warranty for 5 years and accepts free repairs whereas MDF offers lifetime warranty • littman comes in various colors • Lightweight, the tubing is so much thinner and overall the stethoscope itself is shorter which makes it comfortable around a smaller sized neck. • Littman does sound 100% louder and clearer compared to MDF where the sound was a little muffled, still MDF does do a good job but if I could I’d buy a rose gold littman in a minute • With littman I don’t worry about my black scrubs rubbing off on the tubing at all. I almost feel like the tubing on the MDF is different, but I’m not sure. But seeing as though my Littman is blue, I doubt I’ll have as much to worry about compared to a bright white tube. And please DO NOT clean your stethoscope with bleach people, the tubing will become discolored very easily. •Lastly, this Littman stethoscope is the best thing to clean. I don’t worry about cleaning it with rubbing alcohol at all. I understand that MDF and littman are both stainless steel, however MDF has a rose gold coating over it, it isn’t solid. So keep that in mind when cleaning the metal. Hope this helps someone who’s debating between MDF & Littman like I am, But I think I’ll be choosing Littman. ... show more

  • Nice, Light, but Sound is Not What Was Expected
Color: Stainless-Finish Chestpiece Style: Raspberry Tube
The colors range and the product is very light. But to hear well means the plugs that go in the ears must press into the ears and that can hurt after a while. Also, you can’t hear well through clothes. You would have to press the instrument on skin to get a result.
