Product Description

Product 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.

    I was a veterinary technician and used crap stethoscopes for many years. I finally bought myself this beauty and loved the upgrade. These scopes are worth it for beginners in the field or honestly, long-term professionals. The sound quality is great and I've never had a problem with its bendiness. I was the queen of guess heart murmur grades because of my stethoscope. Now I use it to listen to my own dog's or my own heartbeat.

    I’m a medical student currently on my clinical rotations and this stethoscope has been my best purchase! I can hear more easily, which even helps me take blood pressures more quickly. The color is beautiful. Regarding whether it is original: it has the brand's characteristic holographic emblem and all the numbers are in the right place, plus you can feel the good quality, so I would say it is original. I recommend it 100%!!!

    This is a high quality product. Very nice looking scope. The reason for 4 stars is the tubing feels sticky. I kept it because I think it's normal for the materials used in manufacturing. It's a great scope otherwise.
