Product Overview

The 3M™ Littmann® Classic III™ Stethoscope is the latest version of the stethoscope that helps millions of medical professionals achieve their best. It offers high acoustic sensitivity for exceptional performance, plus a versatile two-sided chestpiece with tunable diaphragms. The Classic III™ 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

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 helps clinicians focus on the patient, while the non-chill diaphragm supports patient comfort.

Comfort & Fit

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 a comfortable fit. For safety, the eartips snap firmly onto the ends of the eartubes and require significant effort to remove.

Next-Generation Tubing

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, is less likely to pick up stains, and is not made with natural rubber latex. To support human health and the environment, the tubing does not contain phthalate plasticizers.

Quality & Inclusions

The Classic III™ stethoscope is made in the USA for consistent quality. It comes complete with large and small soft-sealing eartips, a non-chill bell sleeve, and instructions.
