Affordable general examination stethoscope with patented single-side chest piece.
Acoustics: The Littmann Select stethoscope offers single sided listening for both low and high frequencies (bell and diaphragm combined). Its the perfect, affordable stethoscope to meet your general examination needs.
The Select stethoscope provides outstanding response in both high frequency and low frequency ranges. Its excellent overall acoustics offer an advantage to health care professionals when listening to heart, lung and blood pressure sounds.
Unique Tunable Technology:
Traditional stethoscope diaphragms are designed to filter out low frequency sounds so that high frequency sounds can be heard. While many practitioners use the diaphragm to listen to low frequency blood pressure sounds, the clarity is compromised. The Littmann Select diaphragm, however, is designed to pick-up low frequency sounds, such as S3, S4 and those made by blood pressure, when using light pressure. The low profile chest piece is designed to fit comfortably under blood pressure cuffs.
Comfort: For your comfort and control, the chest piece is "finger-contoured" for a secure hold. The lightweight chest piece, ear tubes and eartips also make this stethoscope comfortable to wear. The eartubes are set at the proper anatomical angle so they don't need readjusting. You may adjust the headset tension simply by flexing the yoke. The new snap-tight eartips remain secure, yet may be easily removed for cleaning or replacement. The chestpiece of the Select stethoscope features a non-chill rim for patient comfort.
Durability: The durable, cast chest piece assures long-lasting performance. It is protected with a satin, scratch-resistant finish that will endure everyday wear and tear. The single-lumen tubing makes the Select stethoscope very portable and less bulky than many double tube stethoscopes. A patented double-leaf binaural spring inside the tubing (unlike Sprague-Rappaport-type scopes), maintains proper headset tension to ensure a long life and improved acoustical seal.
Warranty: The Select stethoscope is backed by a two year warranty. The warranty is provided by 3M Health Care.
