The Littmann Cardiology III Stethoscope is highly versatile and durable. It has the capacity to enable medical personnel to listen to the different sounds of the heart. It has a diaphragm which is tuneable and is adjusted by applying pressure on the chest piece, which is tear drop in shape. Doctors can not only listen to the normal sounds of the heart but can also distinguish sounds which are abnormal, like heart murmurs. This versatile stethoscope has a tuneable diaphragm for listening to both low and high frequency sounds. The chest piece is so designed that it is suitable for both adults and children. The “two tubes in one design”, eliminates noise which is produced when tubes rub against each other. Because of this noise elimination, the stethoscope is acoustically highly accurate.
The stethoscope can be easily adapted for a particular need. It can also be used to listen to the lungs and other parts of the body. The small side of the chest piece could be used for paediatric, thin patients or even around bandages. The diaphragm could be converted for examining adults, to an open bell, by replacing it with the no chill bell sleeve. The switchover is quite simple to perform and both sides of the stethoscope can be used.
The diaphragm or chest piece is tear-drop in shape and this enables better access to areas that are difficult to listen to. This soft touch chest piece is also more easy to use than the conventional round-shaped ones. The major advantage is that, the stethoscope need not be moved from where it has been placed. By adjusting the pressure on the chest piece, both low and high frequency resonances can be listened to with high clarity. The bell mode is used for low frequency sounds and is obtained by touching the tuneable chest piece lightly. The diaphragm mode is used for listening for high frequency sounds and is obtained by applying firm pressure on the chest piece.
The Littmann Snap Tight Soft-Sealing Ear tips are fitted down the ear canal of both ears .This makes it possible to hear sounds with high clarity. Background noises are thus eliminated. The tubing is latex free and is basically two tubes-in-one. This eliminates background noises and improves clarity. This means that the correct prognosis can be made.
