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. Manufacturer Contact Information

  • Amazing for clinical
Color: Black Tube, Smoke Stem, Headset Style: Champagne - Finish Chestpiece
This stethoscope I bought for clinicals. It has great sound quality. I feel like I can hear so well when I listen to my patients. It is very clear as well. I don't have to hold it at a certain angle to hear better or anything. It is the same length as my other stethoscopes. I don't feel like I have to get too close to my patients so that it's awkward. It was well-made and functions very well. I will say that the tubing of it is a little bit sticky, but nothing horrible. It's not like sticking to everything it touches. The quality is great and it offers good value for the cost. ... show more

  • Amazing sound
Color: Lime Green Tube, Blue Stem, Smoke Headset Style: Smoke - Finish Chestpiece
This stethoscope is AMAZING!!!! The clarity is awesome. I work in Alf and need to take vitals and hear lung sounds. The tubing is great and flexible. Can fit in my scrub pocket, the color is the best. I know no one at my job has the color although not many at my job has stethoscopes being as they don’t take the vitals but I’m going to nursing school soon for my rn so I know this will last through that all the way to my career which I’ll be at my same job. Just buy it the price is worth every penny ... show more

  • Very nice
Color: Raspberry Tube Style: Rainbow - Finish Chestpiece
This stethoscope is beautiful. You can hear very clearly with it! My old one was so stiff it wouldn’t wrap around my neck anymore lol! I was overdue for a new one. It is of very good quality. Ear pieces are very comfortable and don’t hurt my ears. It was worth the investment. I’m very happy with it!

  • It's juuuust right.
Color: Black Tube, Stem, Headset Style: Rainbow - Finish Chestpiece
It's perfect. The weight, length and color! I had the Littman 4 and returned it because I realized that was used more for critical care pt and I only work at an ambulatory clinic. Also it was too heavy for me but littman 3 is just right!

  • New stethoscope for NP clinical rotation
Color: Turquoise Tube, Pink Stem, Headset Style: Smoke - Finish Chestpiece
Sound quality : pretty good, initially I bought cardiac Level IV, not as clear as this one. ( I would give 4.5 star jd I could as I just tried today after arrive , hopefully it will last and work well during my clinical rotation). Weight: it’s light , the only heavy part is the bell . Tubing : as complained by others in reviews , the tubing is sticky , 3M abandoned the traditional rubber tubes which was much harder and heavier. However, this new tube is very flexible and you can fold it into much smaller shape and it takes smaller space , you can put it into much your pocket ... show more
