Without a doubt, one of the most essential tools needed by medical personnel are Littmann Stethoscopes. Although stethoscopes have been used for nearly 200 years, David Littmann invented the much lighter and more adaptable stethoscope that many doctors use today. Whether you are using a stethoscope for listening to heart and lung function, or intestines and blood flow in veins, many of the classic and new models can help with the results.
Over recent years, modern technology has helped improve reliability and results compared to the original models. However the classic model still remains the most popular choice of many professionals. Having a tunable diaphragm allows the user to hear both low and high-frequency sounds simply by the pressure applied to the diaphragm. With the whole range being made to a superb quality, problems such as the diaphragm cracking or the PVC tubing kinking are reduced. If there are any problems, the stethoscopes come with a three year guarantee to protect your investment.

The 3M Littmann Electronic Stethoscope is the modern-day alternative to the classic model making harder to hear sounds easier to detect. The newer models are very easy to use with a menu button allowing you to customize settings. New settings for these models include a LCD interface giving you an idea of the sound level, and notifies the user of the battery life. The patient’s heart rate is also displayed and updated every two seconds, and gives control to whether the stethoscope is in bell or diaphragm mode. The electronic models also come with ambient noise reduction and a sound amplifier making difficult to hear sounds much easier.
The electronic models are made for working environments where they might be dropped accidentally as well as being as light as the classic model, even with all the extra features.
Pediatric and Infant stethoscopes are also available from 3M Littmann. These feature a smaller bell and floating diaphragm but with all the other features of the classic model.
Whether the professional is treating adults, children or animals, all options are catered for. The Veterinary Stethoscope comes with a tunable diaphragm to give high performance for listening to low or high frequency sounds. Single tubing is provided on this model giving superb acoustic performance and a comfortable headset with soft ear tips.
Stethoscopes have come a long way since they first appeared back in 1816. With new technology now improving so many things in our daily lives, it seemed logical that the latest electronics should appear in stethoscopes. The latest models make great improvements to help you get better results and easier usage.
Whether you are a professional working in a hospital or veterinary practice, Littmann stethoscopes are available for every type of patient.
