What are Medics saying about this Stethoscope ?
You just can’t beat a Littmann for quality sound & the Cardiology is even better!
I don’t know how anyone can truly hear breath sounds or heart tones at an adequate level with the cheaper stethoscopes out there. I’ve tried those of my friends and there is a significant difference in the volume, quality and tone of what you can hear compared with the Master Cardiology. I can honestly say I do hear heart tones significantly better with this than with my other adult stethoscopes. It’s worth the investment!K. Salinger “MBA, RN, RRT”
Great Product for a Great PriceAnyone who is a health care provider is aware of the quality of Littmann’s stethoscopes, especially the Littmann Master Cardiology. Auscultating pulmonary and cardiac sounds are a breeze with this tool. I love not having to turn the head of my stethoscope over to the bell side to listen for murmurs.Rose M.
Littmann Master Cardiology is simply the bestI work as a floor RN and while I was a student and a newly minted RN I used various stethoscopes. I never knew just how useful a really good stethoscope was until I bought my first Master Cardiology. I was simply blown away at the clarity of the breath and heart sounds. I will NEVER buy anything else. One of the interesting things was in my first week using my new master cardiology stethoscope I was assessing a pre-op patient and discovered a previously undiagnosed heart murmur. I just love it and as they say, once you’ve tried the best, it’s very hard to go back.Georoid T. O’Hagan
Here are the reported disadvantages:
- The one thing that could be considered a disadvantage of the Littmann Master Cardiology stethoscope is the price of the stethoscope. It is on the high end of price scale , but considering it’s top of the line features, it is a worthwhile investment that will serve any medic for many years to come.
