  • Tunable diaphragm: Hear high or low frequency sounds by slightly adjusting pressure on the chestpiece.

Description

The 3M™ Littmann® Master Cardiology™ Stethoscope is characterized by the best acoustic response in the Littmann mechanical stethoscope line; with a tunable diaphragm, dual lumen tubing, and a precision, ergonomically designed, stainless steel chestpiece. The 3M™ Littmann® Master Cardiology™ Stethoscope features tunable diaphragm technology—a 3M invention—that lets clinicians hear different frequency sounds by simply adjusting the pressure on the chestpiece. Unlike two sided models, there’s no need to turn over and reposition 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 rim 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.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®.

  • Very Nice
Color: Navy Blue Tube Style: Machine Stainless Steel Chestpiece Pattern Name: Stethoscope
This is a well built stethoscope. Much better than the two headed types I've used in the past. Audible clarity is very good. The ear pieces are extremely comfortable. Pressing on the piece while auscultating alters the frequency of the sounds picked up and allows for better diagnostics. A bit pricey but definitely worth the cost. Would definitely recommend this without hesitation. ... show more

  • Excellent stethoscope
Color: Burgundy Tube Style: Machine Stainless Steel Chestpiece Pattern Name: Stethoscope
Looking forward to using it tomorrow. Bought it to replace my littmann cardio 3 of 12 years. It's definitely a drop heavier, slight improvement in acoustics. I love littman stethoscopes and have used them since 2007. If you are unsure of whether to buy this or the cardiology 4, I would say it depends on your budget. The cardio 4 has the diaphragm and bell vs just the diaphragm. Both are a win in my book. ... show more

  • Some really good, some really horrible (I've never been a fan ...
Color: Plum Tube Style: Machine Stainless Steel Chestpiece Pattern Name: Stethoscope
Working as an R.N for over twenty years has given me many opportunities to use many stethoscopes. Some really good, some really horrible (I've never been a fan of disposable stethoscopes but they have a purpose). I started in healthcare using a large double sided 'scope, the classic "flip over for higher tones" type and as my expertise grew I found myself looking for that certain 'scope that would enable me to hear distinct heart sounds, tones and breath sounds thus improving my patient care. Thus I found the Littmann Master Cardiology stethoscope. This 'scope is heavy! Classically designed and a breeze to use. A gentle slight pressure on the diaphragm will allow one to hear even the slightest murmur in an infant's chest. There is no need to flip the bell over to auscultate adult breath sounds or heart tones; no need to worry about the bell mechanism stripping and spinning madly while you are trying to work! I used my first Littmann Master Cardiology stethoscope for almost fifteen years and then lost it in a house fire, along with a pediatric Littmann (a brilliant little 'scope to be sure). If you're unsure about which 'scope to purchase but want a stellar 'scope that will last a long time (sure diaphragms crack) get the Master Cardiology 'scopeTo replace it, I decided to get a Master Cardiology Stethoscope. A kit for various earpieces and diaphragms give the most discerning clinician what they need for patient assessment. A pediatric adapter is included. The high construction tubing conducts sound well. The diaphragm is solid in construction and ergonomic in design; with the rubber base it is more tolerated for patients to avoid the historically 'cold stethoscope'. The headset is comfortable. Its only limitation is that ocular auscultation for bruits is not ideal but nowadays, medical imaging is utilized to a great degree that this has been somewhat of a lost art. Listening for bruits in other locations is quite easy. This stethoscope is ideal for medical students, nurses, primary care physicians, and cardiologists. It has lasted a decade without issues. ... show more

  • Best stethoscope I ever owned
Color: Black Tube Style: Brass-Finish Chestpiece Pattern Name: Stethoscope
The sound quality is amazing. Super clear and very distinguishable. Highs and lows come in great with different pressures. The gold looks awesome against my black scrubs. Only the electronic ones are better. Every nurse or provider should own one. I absolutely love it.

  • Seriously, all the hype is true!
Color: Black Tube Style: Machine Stainless Steel Chestpiece Pattern Name: Stethoscope
Let me start by saying this is the first review I am writing for any product. I just had to write this one! Firstly, I must commend amazon for their excellent delivery service, my package took just about 11 days to be delivered to Nigeria and all along, I was able to conveniently (and accurately) track it. At almost $200, it's an expensive stethoscope I must admit. At $321 (including shipping), it's the most expensive piece of medical equipment I own. The littmann master cardiology stethoscope is GORGEOUS! It has a polished stainless steel chest piece and an overall attractive design. I initially wanted the burgundy colour but it it wouldn't ship to my location so I had to settle for the black one which is still beautiful. For someone used to low quality stethoscopes, even the feel of the master cardiology is different. It screams quality and class. It's also considerably lightweight (I actually looked at the delivery guy like "are you sure there's master cardiology in here?") When I put it in my ears for the first time, and listened to my own heartbeat (over my clothes!), I couldn't believe my ears... the acoustic performance is just excellent. It has an adapter for pediatric auscultation and a single sided chest piece which allows one to listen to both high and low pitched sounds simply by applying pressure on the chest piece. As a young anaesthetist who'd be dealing with both adult and pediatric patients, I couldn't ask for more. It has got soft sealing ear tips that fit perfectly and cancel out ambient noise. In short, when you're looking for a high performance stethoscope which is worth every penny, look no further than littmann master cardiology. Excellent craftsmanship, littmann! ... show more

  • Excellent hearing quality
Color: Plum Tube Style: Machine Stainless Steel Chestpiece Pattern Name: Stethoscope
A regular stethoscope does not work for me as I am a hearing aid wearer and hear nothing since heartbeats are a low frequency sound. This one for cardiology works great and I hear just fine with hearing aids in.

  • Not the best
Color: Black Tube Style: Machine Stainless Steel Chestpiece Pattern Name: Stethoscope
The stethoscope is nice and easy to use. The tubing was sticky and stiff. Indicating that this is really old and not a new stethoscope. The best bet is to buy spare parent for the diaphragm and ears. If the tubing is in bad shape the sound is of a lower quality and not worth buying used stethoscope. This product new is amazing but what I got not. It was almost like someone swapped out parts from another stethoscope and returned the rest so they had a brand new one and the remaining parts were resold as new. That would explain why the box was closed with shipping tape and a shipping label only. ... show more
