The Littmann Classic III Stethoscope is the trusted everyday stethoscope for nurses, students, medical assistants, EMTs, and clinicians who need dependable acoustic performance shift after shift. It is used to listen to heart, lung, and other body sounds for physical assessment and patient monitoring, and this version stands out with an eye-catching rainbow-finish chestpiece paired with classic black tubing.
The versatile two-sided chestpiece features tunable diaphragms on both the adult and pediatric sides. Hold the chestpiece with light pressure to hear low-frequency sounds, and press a little firmer to hear higher-frequency sounds, all without turning the chestpiece over. The single-piece diaphragm is smooth and easy to clean, the non-chill diaphragm keeps patients comfortable, and the pediatric side converts to a traditional open bell with the included non-chill rim.
Next-generation tubing holds its shape and flexibility even after being folded into a pocket, resists skin oils and alcohol, and is less likely to pick up stains. It is not made with natural rubber latex or phthalate plasticizers. Headset tension adjusts easily by squeezing or pulling the eartubes, and snap-tight, soft-sealing eartips create a comfortable acoustic seal. Made in the USA, it comes with large and small eartips, a non-chill bell sleeve, and instructions.
