Product Description
-------------------
The 3M Littmann Cardiology III Stetho is designed
for clinicians who require outstanding acoustic performance
combined with exceptional versatility. Its innovative design
provides a tunable diaphragm on each side of the chestpiece. The
colors shown online are approximations. We have made every effort
to show the best possible match to the color of the actual
product. However, some variation is expected, due to differences
in both lighting and monitor calibration.
From the Manufacturer
---------------------
The 3M™ Littmann® Cardiology III™ Stetho, one of the most
recognized stethos in the industry, features tunable
diaphragms on both sides to deliver outstanding acoustic
performance, diagnostic versatility and convenience for treating
adult and pediatric patients. The diaphragm on the small side is
easily removable and, with the included nonchill bell sleeve,
converts to a traditional open bell for capturing low
frequencies. The Cardiology III stetho is used by students
and medical professionals such as cardiologists, pediatricians,
and other care providers to identify, listen to, and study
cardiac, lung, and other body sounds in adult, pediatric
patients. With innovative tunable diaphragm technology, sw
between bell and diaphragm modes is as easy as a simple pressure
change on the chestpiece, which means there is no need to remove,
index and replace for same-site auscultation or turning over the
chestpiece. This time-saving feature allows for focus on the
patient. Resilient tubing folds tightly for pocket portability
and retains its shape while patented Snap Tight Soft-Sealing
Eartips help form an effective acoustic seal. The anatomically
correct headset is angled to channel sound and enhance listening
comfort while the nonchill rim and diaphragm provide patient
comfort. The Cardiology III is made in the USA; product and
package are latex-free and come complete with non-chill rims for
the small and large diaphragms, small and large eartips, and
instructions.

Stethos are diagnostic instruments that amplify sounds made
by the body from the heart, lungs, abdomen and intestinal tract,
or other body sites. A stetho is used to detect and study
internal systems, such as fetal development, blood flow or blood
pressure (BP), and respiration, and sounds, such as cardiac,
venous, arterial, pulmonary, and uterine. Stethos typically
have Y-shaped rubber tubing that allows sound to travel from the
chestpiece to the eartips. An open bell detects low frequency
sounds, and a diaphragm detects high frequency sounds. A
stetho can come as single, double (dual), or triple-head.
Binaural stethos are used with both ears, and single
stethos work with one ear. Differential stethos are
double-head, and allow sound comparison between different body
sites. Non-electronic, also called mechanical or acoustic
stethos, transmit sound through hollow tubing to a
listener’s ear. Stethos are used by students and a wide
array of care providers including physicians, nurses, and
veterinarians, as well as spets such as cardiologists,
pediatricians, troenterologists, pulmonologists, and
respiratory professionals in hospital, clinical, or other
care facilities.
