Customer Reviews

great stethoscope
I have been an EMT-Intermediate for 6 years, and every time i get into our ambulance its a different stethoscope with a different diaphragm that is just awful. All i use it for is BPs and Lung Sounds really, but it works great for both and is very comfortable. A friend of mine who is an RN recommended this, and for the price, it is the best stethoscope on the market (IMHO)... wish it came with a nametag or some extra earpieces, but for $40, its the best deal on the market. This was the least expensive with shipping that I found online, and in the 5 medical supply catalogs I reviewed before purchasing. Do yourself a favor, and buy this.

works well for me
I purchased this from another site at a comp. price(I think the retail is way over). I use it for my clinicals and labs in my LPN program. It is comfortable and I have been able to hear clearly. I didn't want to spend a lot of $$ on one until I was more compitent with my skills. I really couldn't tell a differnce with quality until I got into the over $150.00 range. After using it for several months I find I like this scope better than the more expensive Littmanns. I would recomend testing several out to find your personal fit though, if you are able.

Good for the price, but not the best.
I've had my Lightweight for a little over a year. I've found that with this scope, it's harder to hear apical pulses in women or overweight men with a lot of adipose breast tissue. It's good for blood pressure and very basic assessment, but if you're wanting a quality stethoscope, get a Littman Cardiology III. Cardiology III's are quite a bit more expensive, but it's a worthy investment for something you'll use over and over again throughout your nursing career.
