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

  • Highly recommend!
Color: Plum Tube, Pink Stem, Smoke Headset Style: Mirror - Finish Chestpiece
Highly recommend stethoscopes! Great quality! Comfortable ear pieces with great audio! Easy to use! Accurate! Could be a little longer is my only complaint but that is a personal preference for my personal office setting and set up.

  • The One Doctors Use
Color: Turquoise Tube, Pink Stem, Headset Style: Smoke - Finish Chestpiece
My last Littman lasted 35 years in private practice. Bought this as a replacement. By far, the best scope on the market.

Really loud and clear! Well worth it. Compared to the mcf I used for two semesters thus is much, much, louder!

"Excellent sound quality—perfect for accurate auscultation." The tubing is durable abd flexible even if after long use.

  • 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
