3M Littmann Classic III Monitoring Stethoscope, Black Tube, 69 cm, 5620

Great for work, good quality product.

Perfect, perfect, perfect for my job

The comparible difference between my standard issued steth and this one, is night and day. Works well for chest and bowel sounds. Purchased lemon-lime, just so I wouldnt lose it, noticing some slight discolouration due to rubbing against uniform however, this does not affect the working effectiveness. Good buy!

Lovely colour. Has been using for last four years.

It was a gift. Recipient said it was fantastic

Nice, but too short

I'm not a medical student or professional but I like to be health conscious, at least I'm trying to be more health conscious.It is my first Littmann and it is "Heaven" when compared to the stethoscope I got from my medical school (took some courses for Personal Development).Littmann Classic III is everything I've been searching for.• The sounds are crisp and loud.• The pressure sensitive membrane allows to hear low and high pitch tones without switching to the bell.Pros:+ Comfortable fit.+ Provides excellent auscultation.Fantastic sound/acoustic quality.+ Durable / Resistant (resists skin oil and alcohol).+ Excellent tube flexibility.+ Wide color selection.• Tube Colors: Black, Gray, Chocolate, Dark Olive Ggreen, Ceil Blue, Caribbean Blue, Orange, Navy Blue, Plum, Emerald, Hunter Green, Turquoise, Lime Green, Lemon-Lime, Lavender, Burgundy, Pearl Pink, Raspberry.• Metal Finish Colors: Black, Champagne, Mirror, Copper, Smoke, RainbowCons:- Not long enough. Lack of variation in tube lengths.- A bit heavy.P.S there is a myth that if you train with a /crummy stethoscope, you will be that much better with a good one.No way!If you go through all of training Unable to appreciate the sounds being pointed out to you, and hence unable to identify them yourself,a good stethoscope at graduation won't save you from being crummy with a stethoscope.

I once got into trouble for missing crackles in a patient's lung fields, due to using a cheapo stetho.Problem solved, if this thing was any better you'd see it being used in spy movies. I understand now why other doctors swear by it.
