Product Description
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.
Resilient next-generation tubing retains its shape and flexibility even after folding tightly into a pocket. It provides longer stethoscope life due to improved resistance to skin oils and alcohol, and is less likely to pick up stains. Next-generation tubing is not made with natural rubber latex, a benefit to sensitive medical professionals and their patients. And, to play its part in the protection of human health and the environment, the next-generation tubing does not contain phthalate plasticizers.
The Classic III stethoscope is made in the USA for consistent quality. It comes complete with large and small soft-sealing eartips, non-chill bell sleeve, and instructions.
- Two-sided chestpiece with tunable diaphragms on both the adult and pediatric sides.
- 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.
- More than twice as loud* as the next leading stethoscope.
- Allows you to more reliably and consistently hear heart sounds at lower frequencies (below 120Hz*) like Korotkoff sounds, Mitral Stenosis and S3 and S4 Gallops when compared to other leading stethoscopes.
- Weighs less** than other stethoscopes.
- Five-year warranty on this product includes free repair during this period on any manufacturing or material defect(s)
- Same-day engraving available to help eliminate loss or theft, also makes a great gift
*Based on tests against globally-available comparable stethoscopes in an equivalent class using recorded heart sounds with diaphragm.
** Based on published weights of globally-available comparable stethoscopes in an equivalent class.

Happy ICU RN
Stethoscopes are a very personal tool used by many in the medical field & when you're looking for consistent quality, Littmann is the big winner, hands down. This is my 3rd Littmann and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Stethoscope.com, thank you for the awesome online shopping experience. I love my engraving, and have already recommended you to some of my colleagues.

Everything was great except navigating the web site when I messed up my engraving request. However I received a call to verify engraving. Overall I am extremely pleased.

Product good.. sale misleading..
The product itself is good... the item clearly had been marked that it was eligible for free shipping due to a sale but when i went to check out it was still charging shipping.. i emailed the company they stated it wasn't over $125 so it didn't apply. I stated i understood thats the usual deal but this item clearly stated free shipping without being that price they sent me the same response... that's the only reason i couldn't give 5 stars is bc of the customer service aspect. Product itself is good
