The 3M™ Littmann® Cardiology IV™ Stethoscope is designed for physicians who require excellent acoustic performance combined with exceptional versatility. Its innovative design provides a single dual-frequency diaphragm on each side of the bell. Innovative and upgraded stethoscope with satin tubing. This feature stands out as it offers: Soft hose with a silky feel, more stain resistant.
It offers greater ease of cleaning and flexibility during the day. Flexible feel and prone to folding. Satin feel less likely to stick to hair or clothing than a regular stethoscope. The 3M™ Littmann® Cardiology IV™ stethoscope is the next generation of one of the most recognized medical stethoscopes, offering improved acoustic performance with better hearing of high frequency sounds (adult side, constant pressure). Cardiology IV's distinctive, goblet-shaped bell features dual frequency baffles on both sides, providing excellent acoustic performance, flexibility and ease of diagnosis for adult and pediatric patients.
The pediatric side of the bell is converted to a traditional bell, replacing the dual-frequency baffle with a non-freeze patient elastic bezel included with every Cardiology IV stethoscope. Both the pediatric side of the bell and the adult side have single baffles that are easy to remove, attach and clean, as the surfaces are smooth and pit-free.
Cardiology IV Stethoscope Features:
- Excellent acoustics with better hearing of high frequency sounds (adult side, constant pressure).
- Dual-Frequency Diaphragm: Hear high- or low-frequency sounds by slightly adjusting the pressure on the bell.
- Dual Lume Tubing: The ability to have two sound paths in one tube eliminates the frictional noise of traditional dual tubes.
- The new generation tubes have a longer life and stain resistance.
- They are not made with natural rubber latex or phthalates.
- The seven-year warranty gives you more confidence in your stethoscope.
Dual-Frequency Diaphragm technology—a 3M patent—allows the physician to hear different frequency sounds by simply adjusting the pressure on the bell of the Cardiology IV stethoscope. Hold the bell with slight pressure to hear the low frequency sounds. Press a little more to hear the higher frequency sounds. This feature of the Cardilology IV saves the physician time and allows them to focus on the patient, who feels comfortable as the bezel does not "freeze" them.
The tension of the earphone, a Cardiology IV, is easily adjusted according to the size of the head and the level of comfort desired, either by pressing together or by pulling the earphones separately. Snap-on, soft earcups adapt to the ears for excellent acoustic isolation and a comfortable fit. The olives snap firmly onto the ends of the Cardiology IV stethoscope's earpieces and, for safety reasons, require special effort to remove.
In every Cardiology IV stethoscope, dual-lumen tubing combines two paths of sound into one tube, eliminating the frictional noise created by traditional dual tubes. This feature allows the physician to hear patient sounds with less interference. In addition, each Cardiology IV stethoscope has next-generation lumens that retain their shape and flexibility, even when folded tightly into a pocket. They provide longer stethoscope life due to improved resistance to skin oils and alcohol and are less likely to stain. The lumens are not made with natural rubber latex, thus protecting doctors and sensitive patients. Also, to protect human health and the environment, the tubes are not manufactured with phthalates.
A Cardiology IV™ stethoscope isn't just for cardiologists, it's used by specialists and general practitioners, ICU nurses, emergency medical personnel (EMTs), medical students and other healthcare professionals to detect, listen to and study cardiac, pulmonary and other body sounds, in adults and children. The Cardiology IV™ stethoscope is made in the USA and backed by a 7-year warranty. 3M™ Littmann® stethoscopes are used by millions of healthcare professionals around the world who are dedicated to achieving the best patient outcomes. They offer superior acoustic performance and consistently high quality. Each Littmann® stethoscope can be an expression of your commitment and personal success in medicine.
