The 3M® Littmann® Cardiology IV stethoscope is the next generation of one of the most recognized stethoscopes in the profession, offering improved acoustic performance with better audibility of high frequency sounds (adult side, firm pressure). It has a distinctive bell shape and tunable diaphragms on both sides to provide exceptional acoustic performance, diagnostic versatility, and convenience for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients. The pediatric side of the hood turns into a traditional open hood removing the tunable diaphragm and replacing it with a cool removing ring included. Both sides, adult and pediatric, have a one-piece diaphragm that is easy to remove, fix and clean because the surface is smooth and without a crack. Tunable diaphragm technology, a 3M invention, allows health professionals to hear different frequency sounds simply by adjusting the pressure on the piece. Hold the piece lightly to hear low-frequency sounds; Press a little more to hear more frequent sounds. This time-saving feature allows the practitioner to focus on the patient, while the non-cold edge provides comfort to the patient. The earphone voltage is easily adjusted for head size. Hermetically sealed olives fit the individual ears for excellent acoustic seal and a snug fit. The double lumen tubes combine two sound paths into one tube, eliminating the noise of friction created by traditional double tubes. This feature makes it possible for the practitioner to hear the patient's sounds with less interference. The new generation tube retains its shape and flexibility even after folding a pocket. It provides longer stethoscope life due to improved resistance to oils and skin alcohol, and is less likely to stain or discolor. The new generation of tubes is not made with natural rubber latex, a benefit for sensitive physicians and their patients. And, to play its role in protecting human health and the environment, the new generation of tubes is not made with phthalate plasticizers. The Cardiology IV stethoscope is not just for cardiologists. It is used by specialists and GPs, intensive care nurses, EMTs, medical students, and other health professionals to identify, hear, and study heart, lung, and other body sounds in adult and pediatric patients. The Cardiology IV stethoscope is manufactured in the United States and has a seven-year warranty. Comes complete with large and small olives and ring cooler. 3M® Littmann® stethoscopes are used by millions of medical professionals around the world who are dedicated to achieving the best results for patients. Littmann stethoscopes offer excellent acoustic performance, consistently high quality and exceptional value.
