It's here! The next evolution of a clinical classic.
Introducing the all-new Littmann Classic III stethoscope from 3M Littmann. In the first major enhancement in 18 years, this reimagined stethoscope sets a new industry standard.
The Classic III stethoscope introduces updated design, advanced materials, and enhanced technology to the trusted Littmann line. Featuring a double-sided chestpiece with tunable diaphragms for both adult and pediatric use, improved tubing, and more, it combines modern innovation with proven reliability.
With a dual head chestpiece, just like the Cardiology III, this stethoscope allows full adult and pediatric auscultation by simply rotating the central spline. Its single-piece diaphragm and rim assemblies maximize acoustic sensitivity, while the larger ear tubes and single lumen binaurals offer even better sound transmission. The recessed selector spline also provides a seamless fit and a visual indicator for the active diaphragm.
Key Features:
- Double-sided dual diaphragm chestpiece: Allows both adult and pediatric assessments.
- Transformable pediatric side: Switch to a traditional open bell by replacing the diaphragm with the provided non-chill rim.
