3M Littmann 5831 Classic III Monitoring Stethoscope 27 inch Plum Tube

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.

Monitor and assess a wide range of patients
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
