From the Manufacturer
---------------------
The 3M™ Littmann® Select Stetho features tunable diaphragm
technology that delivers reliable and clear acoustics and the
portable convenience of a single-sided chestpiece at an
affordable price. The Select model is available in a variety of
tubing colors and is a reliable diagnostic tool for blood
pressure and limited physical assessment. The Select stetho
is used by students and medical professionals alike to identify,
listen to, and study heart, lung, and other body sounds for
physical examination and diagnosis in adult patients. 3M Littmann
tunable diaphragm technology offers reliable and clear acoustics,
versatility and time-saving convenience. Sw between bell
and diaphragm modes is as easy as a simple pressure change on the
chestpiece, which means there is no need to remove, index and
replace for same-site auscultation. Resilient tubing folds
tightly for pocket portability and retains its shape while
patented Snap Tight Soft-Sealing Eartips help form an effective
acoustic seal. The anatomically correct headset is angled to
channel sound and enhance listening comfort while the nonchill
rim and diaphragm provide patient comfort. The 3M Littmann Select
is made in the USA. The product and package are latex-free and
come with an alternate pair of small eartips and instructions.
What are Stethos?
Stethos are diagnostic instruments that amplify sounds made
by the body from the heart, lungs, abdomen and intestinal tract,
or other body sites. A stetho is used to detect and study
internal systems, such as fetal development, blood flow or blood
pressure (BP), and respiration, and sounds, such as cardiac,
venous, arterial, pulmonary, and uterine. Stethos typically
have Y-shaped rubber tubing that allows sound to travel from the
chestpiece to the eartips. An open bell detects low frequency
sounds, and a diaphragm detects high frequency sounds. A
stetho can come as single, double (dual), or triple-head.
Binaural stethos are used with both ears, and single
stethos work with one ear. Differential stethos are
double-head, and allow sound comparison between different body
sites. Non-electronic, also called mechanical or acoustic
stethos, transmit sound through hollow tubing to a
listener’s ear. Stethos are used by students and a wide
array of care providers including physicians, nurses, and
veterinarians, as well as spets such as cardiologists,
pediatricians, troenterologists, pulmonologists, and
respiratory professionals in hospital, clinical, or other
care facilities.
