Chestpiece: The Dual-Head chestpiece and full-rotational Acoustic Valve Stem are machined and polished to the exact tolerance from the finest stainless steel. The Bowles (4.9 cm diameter) is fitted with an ultra-sensitive Diaphragm (4.5 cm diameter) sealed by the Diaphragm Retaining Ring to produce optimum amplification and high frequency transmission of heart and lung sounds at 100 to 1000Hz. The extra large and deep cone-shaped Bell (3.7 cm) detects acoustic sensitivity at low frequency sound transmission at 20-100 Hz. Diaphragm and Bell are crowned with a non-chill durable PVC Diaphragm Retaining Ring and Bell Ring to provide greater patient comfort.
Headset: Machined and polished wide stainless steel tubes (6mm diameter) provide superior acoustic transmission. Enclosed double internal spring and MDF ComfortSeal Eartips are ergonomically designed for long lasting fit and comfort.
Acoustic Tubing: Combined dual acoustic tubes (59 cm) with enlarged internal acoustic pathway in the Y configuration sustains the superiority of double tube acoustic transmission and eliminates internal acoustic leakage and external interference. Acoustic Tubes are constructed of non-cracking, non-sticking high-density latex-free PVC.
Accessories: Additional (2) ComfortSeal Eartips, (1) ultra-sensitive Diaphragm and (1) ID tag.
Testimonial received from Jennifer 17/10/06 Registered Nurse
I have compared this stethoscope to my Littman that I have sworn by for years and I am now using only this model, haven't touched my Littman since I tried this. As far as price comparison, it cost approximately the same as my Littman, but has more functions and sound quality is much better. It works great. I can hear lung sounds so much easier than before. I can't believe the difference! I was listening to a patient the other night who was going into respiratory distress, and I could hear lung sounds that the respiratory therapist couldn't. She didn't believe me, so I let her try my stethoscope, she couldn't believe the difference either! I only wish I would have had this years ago. I can't wait to try it on my pediatric patients. I work as a traveling nurse and having a great stethoscope is vital to the care I provide and my patient's life. Thank you for helping make the difference. Wonderful product! Would highly recommend!
