3M Littmann Cardiology IV Diagnostic Stethoscope, Black-Finish Chestpiece, Black Tube, Violet Stem and Black Headset, 69 cm, 6203

I work in a veterinary hospital and do anaesthetics so need a really good stethoscope wouldn’t buy any other than this brand. The cardiology one is a lot heavier than the standard type of stuff stuff that I’ve been using put the sound quality is so much better definitely would recommend specially as I have tinnitus and struggle to hear through my stethoscope when there’s a lot of sound in the background which in a veterinary hospital is a lotOnly negative review is packaging on how it was delivered box wasn’t sealed and it just came in the box the stuff that comes in which thankfully is packaged with form but when I got delivered was thrown into my delivery box at home with the lid off and hanging out

Happy with the purchase

Bought this after my old Classic II “disappeared”. Cannot beat the sound clarity and quality of these stethoscopes. Yes, they’re a bit pricey, but they last and you get what you pay for. If you’re just taking manual BP’s don’t bother, but if you are listening to chests, hearts abdomens etc, they do t disappoint. Just make sure to read the instructions as these have tuneable diaphragms and can take a bit of getting used to.

Handy, Light and very good sound qualityI has increase my life in cardiology practice for another 4 Years

I went for this particular model to ensure I could detect the faintest of abnormal heart sounds and murmurs, it definitely works better than other models and I'm really pleased with my purchase

Owned for 3 years after having a cheaper littman with no problems for many years prior. While the sound quality is better with the cardiology IV the diaphragm easily falls off and I've lost about 3 or 4 and at 20 pound to replace this is not cheap. Did complain to littman who did once send me a free one but said 'it's a consumable part'. I lost 2 within about 3 months however...seems to be a common problem. Now the head keeps sticking and doesn't spin around. Again litmann said its a common problem. For the cost of the stethoscope I would expect it to be more sturdy. My older cheaper littmann has lasted much better without these problems. Its put me off littmann and in the future I may look at MDF like other colleagues. These are a lot cheaper and replace so called 'consumable parts' for free. Think your just paying for the brand name now.

Perfect item , so happy with it

Speedy on time delivery as I lost my previous steth (same make ) and needed one urgently . Good quality as you would expect from littmann.
