3M Littmann Lightweight II S.E. Stethoscope, Burgundy Tube, 28 inch, 2451

I have been wanting one of these for years, they are close to being the Rolls Royce of stethoscopes. Thankfully they don't cost as much! The nursing stethoscope is slightly less expensive than some of the doctors Littmann's but what makes this so good for us is the shape of the head. Being egg shaped it fits snugly under BP cuffs compared to the usual round ones. The build quality of the Littmann is also far superior than that of your usual "cheapie" stethoscope you buy from web sites,and available in some funky colours now as well. That aside make sure you get it labelled because it's the sort of kit that can "grow legs" and walk!!If you want to do a proper job (and I do)! (..I work in a specialist Cardiac Hospital) you need a proper piece of kit. Unfortunately the NHS doesn't buy this sort of stuff anymore so we have to buy our own, but with quality like this it lasts for years.Sonically the diaphragm (high / low frequency options) are superb, pick up is exceptional, my audiophile engineer husband was astounded at the pick up & clarity, he sat attentively listening to various aspects of his body, hearing plenty that he'd not experienced before with my old "bog-standard" stethoscope, ...i'm actually glad the pup rummaged around in my work bag & destroyed the old one as this is of infinitely better quality & durableWorth every penny ...& more.

Great quality.

Very good quality and functionality 👍

This is a qualty product, as it is the budget end of litmann, This nursing steph ostaltates great sound for what i use it for as a emergency tech EMT and the ear buds dont come off as it is in and out of my trouser pocket all day long, you will not go wrong with this steph, any one who is starting out as Emt, Para and Nurse. I highly recommend this stephoscope

I had lost my expensive littmann well the docs pinched it . Little buggers. But this stethoscope is excellent value for money the quality is as you should expect from a littmann . The colour is lovely aswell so everyone can see its mine haha. Well worth the money very pleased is an understament. A must have for any nurse without the need to spend 100pound plus for a full littmann. Perfect for nurses.

My hubby was diagnosed with htn recently so purchased to keep an eye on his BP & very happy with it for this. I am a nurse but no paediatric experience but my gp is very fond of antibiotics for any little sniffle so found last time my daughter was coughing a lot this stethoscopes allowed me to check air entry and confidently decide she didn't need anything. Her cold cleared within 48hrs without anything. I'm not anylti antibiotics but only if they are necessary & if she had still been symptomatic in 48 hrs I would have taken her to gp. Very happy I could use this to make a good decision.

I love these stethoscopes but on this occasion I was sent the black one when I ordered the burgundy. I needed it in a hurry so can’t afford to send it back and wait for another.

Love this, so easy to use and carry around with me in my pocket. Sounds are very clear. Good for the price compared to some of the other products. Does the same job and good for money. Defiantly recommend
