Stethoscopes are an indispensable piece of medical equipment, allowing sounds from the lungs, heart and intestines to be heard during medical examinations. Varying in size, design and weight, Care Shop has an enormous selection of high-quality stethoscopes. Choose from aluminium or stainless steel, double or single lumen tubing, and one or two-sided chest-pieces, some with tunable diaphragms for low and high frequency detection.
Stethoscopes should be comfortable to use, and most have non-chill rims and ergonomic design, with easily adjustable headsets, soft ear tips and latex-free tubing. Some are designed for general use, while others are more specialised. The 3M Littmann Select stethoscope has an offset bell and ovoid chest-piece which, with its light weight, make it especially suitable for use by nurses dealing with blood-pressure cuffs. Infants and children will benefit from paediatric stethoscopes such as the Duplex De Luxe Neonatal Stethoscope Stainless Steel, which has sizing and acoustics carefully designed for younger patients.
Electronic stethoscopes, such as the battery operated 3M Littmann Model 3200 Electronic Stethoscope, give higher sound quality and better ambient noise reduction, and include high-tech features such as Bluetooth capability to allow instant uploading and recording of results, and easy-to-read, LCD user interfaces.
