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

  • Manual BP
Color: Black Tube Style: Black Matte - Finish Chestpiece
Old stethoscope was 15+ years old and stiff. Finally replaced it with this one and I am happy with it (1 month in). This is used for manual blood pressure checks. I had the lightweight Littman before. This one is a little longer, which is great for me because I am tall and was constantly having to get close for blood pressures. It feels good-high quality. I can hear better with it. The ear pieces fit so nicely. I love that you can turn it to better fit a pediatric patient. I do really like it and am happy with it. PLUS I really love the black on black! ... show more

It’s comfortable around the neck and in the ears, and the build quality is solid and professional. Whether you’re a student or seasoned clinician, this is a reliable, must-have tool. Absolutely worth every penny ... show more

  • Lives up to its hype, but HEAVY
Color: Raspberry Tube Style: Rainbow - Finish Chestpiece
This is supposed to be THE stethoscope you get when you want a good quality stethoscope. It definitely is. The ONLY thing is that is is much heavier than the Littmann II because the chest piece is a heavy metal, whereas the Littmann II chest piece is lighter and more comfortable to wear around the neck. I do find the III DOES have better sound projection as described. Literally “weighing” the options on which one is overall the most practical for my own needs. But, it’s is a beautiful product! ... show more
