3M Littmann Classic III Stethoscope, 5620 (Silver Chestpiece, Black Tube, 27 inch)

The 3M Littmann Classic III Stethoscope represents the most recent iteration of the stethoscope that aids countless medical professionals in achieving optimal performance.

The Classic III stethoscope features high acoustic sensitivity for outstanding functionality, along with a versatile two-sided chestpiece equipped with tunable diaphragms. Both students and medical practitioners utilize the Classic III stethoscope to identify, listen to, and analyze heart, lung, and other bodily sounds for physical assessments, patient monitoring, and diagnostic purposes.

The tunable diaphragm technology, an innovation by 3M, enables clinicians to perceive sounds of varying frequencies by merely adjusting the pressure applied to the chestpiece. By applying light pressure to the chestpiece, low-frequency sounds can be detected; a firmer press allows for the detection of higher-frequency sounds. This efficient feature enables healthcare providers to concentrate on their patients, while the non-chill diaphragm enhances patient comfort.

The headset tension can be conveniently adjusted to accommodate different head sizes and comfort levels by squeezing or separating the eartubes. The snap-tight, soft-sealing eartips adapt to individual ear shapes, ensuring an excellent acoustic seal and a comfortable fit. These eartips securely attach to the ends of the eartubes and require considerable effort to detach for safety reasons.

The durable next-generation tubing maintains its shape and flexibility even after being tightly folded into a pocket. It extends the lifespan of the stethoscope due to its enhanced resistance to skin oils and alcohol, and it is less prone to staining. This next-generation tubing is free from natural rubber latex, which is advantageous for sensitive medical professionals and their patients. Furthermore, to contribute to the safeguarding of human health and the environment, the next-generation tubing does not contain phthalate plasticizers.

The Classic III stethoscope is manufactured in the USA to ensure consistent quality. It is supplied with both large and small soft-sealing eartips, a non-chill bell sleeve, and accompanying instructions.
