MDF Instruments, SpragueRappaport Dual Head Stethoscope with Adult, Pediatric, and Infant Convertible chestpiece, Translucent Pink Tube, MDF767ICO

If you don’t want to spend 80+ pounds on one of them litman stethoscopes, then trust me when I say this, this is more than perfect. Absolutely banging quality. Coming from a pharmacy student by the way 💊

I bought a cheaper (£8) stethoscope and was very dissappointed with its performance. I had hoped to hear a hedgehog's breathing. Human Lung sounds were OK, heart beat very faint. When I looked for something better, I discovered that many reviewers complained of the same thing, even on much more expensive branded models. The reviews for this MDF scope where very encouraging and I liked its adapability, the head can be configured in 3 ways. The listing makes it look like you are getting 3 different heads, but what you get is a pack of parts to change the configuration. I haven't tried doing this yet. The stethoscope also comes with 3 different sizes of ear bud. The cheaper version became very uncomfortable after a few minutes of use, it felt like it was trying to go through my ears. So what's it like? I agree totally with the previous reviwers. It is perfect. Heartbeat sounds are as I was expecting, I can even hear the pulse in my wrist. Lung sounds are good too. I don't know if the design (Sprague Rappaport) that makes the difference but this device works really well. The 180 degree head twist from hi to lo frequency is quite firm, which I think is good. I haven't tried it on the hedgehog because he's responded well to his treatment for lungworm and since he's wild, I don't want to handle him unnecessarily. So if you are looking at cheaper sethoscopes, I would suggest you consider paying a bit more for this one (£25), you won't be dissapointed. I see that this is not available anymore and MDF Direct are out of stock.

Timely delivered. Good acoustics Ears tips are a bit hard on ears but I guess regular use will make your ears used to it. You have to adjust the anatomy everytime you use. Otherwise good product for money. Believe it or not I am using it for my PACES course. Gets the job done.

I bought this as a spare when my Litmann diaphragm cover was lost and I was finding a replacement cover. The stethescope is good with good sound quality. The two tube design (which is one reason I bought it out of curiousity) is fine though is a bit more restricted than a single tube design. The tubes are slightly shorter than Im used to but overall its a good stethescope and for £30 I have no complaints. Whether it will last 7+ years like my Litmann I am unsure but it is about 1/3rd the price and I wouldnt have any concerns using this stethescope for the forseeable future. Certainly a fantastic spare.

Very good quality, better than expensive stethoscope. I am relieved to loss the diaphragm.

This is really good. It was bought for my nieces 'job day' at school as she wants to be a vet, while planning to use it for my animals. I have poultry and they can suffer from respiratory problems that need to be caught early and these are great for health checks. I also use these to listen to incubated eggs in conduction with candling, and again they are great. The sound is crisp and clear and the dual head is perfect for a variety of needs. This has also been useful to check on my nephews asthma and risk of chest infections.

I only use it to triage patients and rule out wheeze on asthmatics or copd customers and it does a great job at that but could be cheaper

I was looking for a mid-range (cost) for infrequent use on patients. I was extremely impressed with the quality of the sound and has made manual BP's a lot easier when listening for that "lub dub". There are obviously more expensive ones out there, but even some of my colleagues who have Litman's were impressed with these. The extra parts are also a nice touch.
