Stethoscopes Direct specialises in the Littmann range of advanced stethoscopes and offers a range of medical and veterinary stethoscopes. The company also supplies blood pressure monitors for use at hospitals and clinics as well as homes. Littmann Master Classic II veterinary stethoscopes are designed for use on large animals and come with patented single-sided chest-pieces that incorporate both bell mode and diaphragm mode for auscultation. The bell mode is used for hearing low frequency sounds and requires the chest-piece to be in contact with the skin lightly. The diaphragm mode is used for hearing high frequency sounds and requires the chest-piece to be placed on the skin applying firm pressure. Single-sided chest-pieces allow veterinary practitioners to detect sounds from both modes without changing the position, thereby enabling precise detection. These flat chest-pieces are also comfortable for use on the animal’s skin.
Key advantages of these veterinary stethoscopes include superior acoustic sensitivity, non-chill rim on the chest-piece for comfort, patented diaphragm design, single lumen tube, durable construction, patented soft-sealing eartips for user comfort and 3-year manufacturer’s warranty. Tunable technology in these dual frequency stethoscopes offers a high level of convenience for the user in detecting low and high frequency sounds without turning over the chest-piece.
