Description

A new class of clarity The 3M Littmann CORE Digital Stethoscope features the outstanding acoustics, comfort and quality of a Littmann cardiology-grade stethoscope enhanced by powerful digital technology. Features like up to 40x amplification1 and active noise cancellation can help you auscultate with greater confidence.

Take listening to a whole new level The FDA-cleared 3M Littmann CORE Stethoscope toggles between analog and amplified listening modes so you can listen how you want to during assessments. Tunable diaphragm technology—a 3M invention—lets you hear different frequency sounds by simply adjusting the pressure on the chestpiece. Hold the chestpiece with light pressure on the patient to hear low frequency sounds; press a little more to hear higher frequency sounds. Soft- sealing ear tips conform to individual ears for optimal comfort and excellent sound occlusion. The 3M Littmann CORE Stethoscope works with Eko software on iOS and Android devices, giving you a HIPAA compliant means to save and annotate 15, 30, 60 or 120-second recordings in a secure dashboard. Create a library of heart sounds to monitor the progressions of a disease or for education, and securely share recordings with colleagues. 140X amplification based on comparison of analog versus electronically assisted amplified listening with maximum volume at the peak frequency (125 Hz).

  • Wish I bought sooner
Color: Black Tube, Black Stem Style: High Polish Copper Chestpiece
I love the stethoscope, particularly in cardiology since it’s so accurate and you can amplify the sound. You’re able to pick up the slightest deviation in normal sounds. It works as a normal telescope if you run out of battery. It is very soft and comfortable. I clean mine every day so it doesn’t get sticky. It is an incredible investment. I highly recommended. The size is exactly the same as a regular stethoscope and fits in any stethoscope holder. ... show more

  • Best ever!!

Best stethoscope I could have ever purchased. Sound is amplified, so your blood pressure readings are so accurate even for those with hearing trouble

  • Exceptional Stethoscope: Raises the Bar with Outstanding Quality and Performance
Color: Black Tube, Black Stem Style: Black-Finish Chestpiece
This Stethoscope Raises the Bar! Although it’s a bit pricey, I can confidently say that it sets a new standard for what a stethoscope should be. From the moment I picked it up, I could tell it was built with high-quality materials and craftsmanship. All I can say is wow! The sound quality is exceptional, making it easy to hear even the faintest heartbeats and lung sounds, which is crucial in my line of work. What’s even more impressive is how many people I've let try it out who also respond with a resounding wow. Many of them end up ordering one for themselves if they can afford it. While it’s not the cheapest option on the market, I genuinely believe it is worth every penny. The performance and durability you get are unparalleled compared to other stethoscopes. I also highly recommend purchasing the hard case that’s specifically designed for this stethoscope. It’s essential for protecting your investment, especially if you accidentally drop it while transporting it. Overall, this stethoscope combines quality, performance, and a touch of luxury, making it an invaluable tool for any healthcare professional. I couldn't be happier with my purchase ... show more

  • Game changer
Color: Black Tube, Black Stem Style: High Polish Copper Chestpiece
Well made, easy to use, and clear. My old cardiology stethoscope was hard to hear at times and about 8 years old. When I switched to critical care and pulmonology this stethoscope made it easy to hear everything. Battery life lasts about 2-3 weeks between charges which is good.

  • Bought by mistake
Color: Black Tube, Black Stem Style: Black-Finish Chestpiece
I never used it so I don't know. It was bought by mistake. However, my colleague had one and I've used it and it was ok. Loud, which is good for someone like myself who is hard of hearing.

  • A must have
Color: Black Tube, Black Stem Style: High Polish Rainbow-Finish Chestpiece
This was a game changer for me. The volume settings are amazing. Sound is so crisp and clean. Easy to use with just a push of a button you open up a world of sound quality that can not be matched. I hear everything. It allows greater accuracy in your assessments. It is heavier than the normal stethoscope so be mindful. It also needs to be charged before use. I actually debated about buying for a long time because of the price. A coworker that is hearing impaired uses this so she can function as a nurse with her disability and recommended it to us all. It's a purchase you will not regret. Technology is ever changing as is nursing. We need to match its speed in all aspects. This changed my mind about a lot of products available out there that make our job easier. I won't be falling behind anymore. I added many new electronic items to my nursing bag now. This has started a new chapter for me and my coworkers. We won't stay stuck in the past. ... show more
