How Good Are Littman Veterinary Stethoscopes?
Littman veterinary stethoscopes features a tunable diaphragm, which allows the user to conveniently alternate between low and high-frequency sounds without turning over the chestpiece.
Professor David Littmann of the Harvard Medical School invented the Littman stethoscope, in 1963. Continuous innovation led to the 3M Littman Cardiology Stethoscope.
Many cardiologists insist on Littman stethoscopes; they use the Littman Cardiology III, Littman Cardiology STC, and Littman Master Classic II for both adult and pediatric auscultation.
The manufacturers have even designed a stethoscope for medium and large animal applications, the Littman Master Classic II Veterinary Stethoscope. With a 32" inch long tube, this model is ideal for use on larger dogs and horses.
A hand-polished, scratch-resistant finish protects this stethoscope. The patented single sided chest-piece design that combines both the bell and diaphragm modes into the same side of the chest-piece is a common factor, in all these stethoscopes.
Low frequency sounds are detected by applying light pressure. A diaphragm response that helps detect high frequency sounds is produced by applying firm pressure. Detection of both frequencies without changing position and losing a landmark is allowed by the single sided chest-piece.
Comfortable angling and an anatomically correct headset are characteristic of this veterinary stethoscope. A patented diaphragm that assures high acoustic sensitivity and consistent frequency responses is a feature of all Littman veterinary stethoscopes.
They insure comfort and a good seal in the ear by providing lightweight headsets and soft-sealing ear tips.
Thus, the health of our pets and livestock depends on Littman stethoscopes, too.
