Littmann Classic III Stethoscope, Rainbow Black, 5870
Color : RAINBOW BLACK
Model # 5870
Size: 27 in / 69 cm
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.
Two-sided chestpiece with tunable diaphragms on both the
adult and pediatric sides.
Single-piece tunable diaphragm is easy to attach, and easier
to clean because its surface is smooth without crevices.
Pediatric side converts to a traditional open bell by
replacing the single-piece diaphragm with a non-chill rim.
Next-generation tubing provides longer life due to improved
resistance to skin oils and alcohol; less likely to pick up stains.
Small tunable diaphragm is useful for pediatric, small, or
thin patients; around bandages; and for carotid assessment.
