Wow. The second favorite is the $20 scope. Really? At least the one I got is in the top 3 (Littmann Master Classic II). I will be looking at that Cardiology III, though. I am not in love with the Master Classic.
This is a great device! I found some more information on this website: http://www.medicalexpo.com/medical-manufacturer/dual-head-stethoscope-4.html
ReplyDeleteI love the Littman Master Cardiology. This is the exact one that I have here: http://goo.gl/AmJwnb I've been a nurse for 4 years and working on a tele unit for the past two. Most of our cardiologists use the same one and ask to borrow mine when they leave theirs elsewhere. Just be sure you keep an eye on them until they give it back! I would avoid the cheap ones unless you lose thing easily. I hear so much clearer!
