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®. Expanded content is available with a subscription.

  • This is the one!
Color: Raspberry Tube Style: Rainbow - Finish Chestpiece
Short version: super quality very nice looking stethoscope that i highly recommend! I have been a veterinarian for over 35 years, and I use my stethoscope many times each day. I have tried different stethoscopes, but I now use only one type. I love Littman stethoscopes, and the last one I purchased a number of years ago has served me well every day. But as the tubing became hard and stiff, I decided to retire it and replace it. I was pleasantly surprised to see the selection available on Amazon. I found a color of tubing that I loved as well as a few other nice options that made this the perfect choice. And the price was very reasonable. It arrived very quickly and I was very pleased to see that it looked nicer than it looked online. The tubing was very flexible and much softer than my old stiff one. Even more important, I was able to hear even more heart sounds than I had before. I work with dogs and cats between 1# and 180#, and this worked wonderfully on all of them. As I get closer to retirement, I am very pleased to think that my last stethoscope is one that looks and works fantastic! ... show more

  • High Quality and Function
Color: Ceil Blue Tube, Smoke Stem, Headset Style: Mirror - Finish Chestpiece
High quality. I relied on an expert (nephrologist) to show me how to use it, how to interpret sounds. This is the gold standard for daily use.

  • 3 years strong
Color: Raspberry Tube Style: Rainbow - Finish Chestpiece
Why use anything other than a littman? Sound quality and durability have maintained these last three years. Color did fade from a vibrant raspberry to a darker tone, but it’s still gorgeous and great working condition.

  • Quality for the price
Color: Plum Tube, Pink Stem, Smoke Headset Style: Mirror - Finish Chestpiece
This stethoscope arrived in excellent condition with all original packaging as expected. The stethoscope sound quality is 5 stars. Ensure you are using the correct ear pieces for your ear size! This helps. I waited until Black Friday to get the best sale price. This stethoscope is easy to use so long as you know how to use it. My previous Littmann lasted 7 years before the tube started cracking from body oils and normal wear and tear. Littmann stethoscopes stand the test of time. ... show more

  • Superb Sound Quality and Extremely Well Built
Color: Burgundy Tube, Black Stem, Headset Style: Black Matte - Finish Chestpiece
This is an amazing stethoscope! I am beginning nursing school in the fall and have heard everyone say that Littmann is the way to go. I have a less expensive stethoscope at home and the sound with this one is so much better! The only drawback is that I'm 6'4" and it's a little short for me. However, that is very minor, and it does not affect the listening capabilities in any way. All in all, this is a great stethoscope and I would 100% recommend it. ... show more
