Littmann Classic III Navy Blue Standard

• Littmann Classic III stethoscope from 3M Littmann. With the first major upgrade of the iconic Littmann stethoscope in 18 years, the NEW industry standard has arrived!

 

• The Classic III stethoscope brings new design, materials, and technology to the Littmann stethoscope series that’s been used and trusted by millions of medical professionals worldwide for decades. With a two-sided chestpiece, dual tunable diaphragms, improved tubing, and much more, the Classic III stethoscope combines the best of new and traditional.

 

• As with the Cardiology III, full adult and paediatric auscultation is available through its dual head chestpiece simply by rotating the central spline to alternate between the two sides. The more compact one piece diaphragm and rim assemblies have further increased acoustic sensitivity. The binaurals have been redesigned with larger diameter ear tubes and a thicker single lumen binaural to transfer sound more effectively. The selector spline is now recessed to allow a flush fit with the binaural tube and now features a visual indicator for easy identification of the operational diaphragm.

 

• Features

NEW double-sided, dual diaphragm chestpiece for both adult and paediatric assessment.

NEW: The paediatric side is also easily transformed into a traditional open bell by replacing the single-piece diaphragm with the supplied non-chill rim.

NEW chestpiece is precision-machined into an aesthetically pleasing, less angular shape.

NEW single-piece diaphragm instead of separate diaphragm/rim making it easier to attach and easier to clean due to the smooth unbroken surface.

NEW: The stem features an open side indicator to easily identify which diaphragm is in operation.

NEW next-generation tubing gives even longer tube life with improved resistance to skin oils, alcohol and staining.

3M’s ‘Tunable Technology’ lets you easily switch from low to high frequency sounds by switching from light to firm pressure on both the adult and paediatric sides of the chestpiece.

High acoustic sensitivity when performing general physical assessment.

Larger ear tubes on the anatomically designed headset comfortably positioned for better sound transfer. Easy adjustment by simply squeezing or pulling apart the eartubes.

Comfortable Snap-Tight soft seal eartips create an excellent acoustic seal to reduce ambient noise.

No natural rubber latex or phthalate plasticisers are used in the tubing or any other component—to help protect health and the environment.

Complement your personal style with Littmann’s large range of chestpiece finishes and tubing colours.

Used as a diagnostic aid as part of the physical assessment of a patient.

• 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
