Littman Stethoscopes - Special Outstanding Features Of the Littman Stethoscope
Tuesday, 18 August 2009
When it comes to health and the dignostic instruments and tools that are required to service health
the factors of quality
precision and accuracy are of the highest priority.
For the medical doctor or nurse
nothing is more relevant and useful than the use of the stethoscope. Ask any doctor or health professional
and he would most likely be using a littman stethoscope.
It was in 1963 that the Harvard Medical School Professor David Littmann
a renowned cardiologist
invented a stethoscope which would revolutionize the world of medical auscultation.
Named after him
this invention continued to improve and develop
resulting in a highly acclaimed stethoscope named aptly
the 3M Littmann Cardiology Stethoscope.
This stethoscope is uniquely equipped to help the medical doctor pick up difficult-to-hear heart
lung and other body sounds admist distracting noises.
Using
the 3Mดs new Ambient Noise Reduction technology
it is possible to now reduce distracting room noise by an average of 75% (- 12 decibels) over the bell and diaphragm operating range. This is convincingly the most important feature of the littman stethoscope.
Apart from this
the new tunable diaphragm technology used in Littman Stethoscopes
allows the health practitioner to alter the pressure on the chest piece in order to change from bell mode to diaphragm mode and vice-versa. This makes it very versatile for adaptive use.
As a result
the technology has led to a whole new line of Littmann stethoscopes including the electronic Littmann Master Cardiology Stethoscope for infant
pediatric
and veterinary disciplines.
The Littmann stethoscopes are among the most popular stethoscopes for cardiologists where Littman stethoscopes like Littman cardiology III
Littmann cardiology STC
and Littmann Master classic II are used for both adult and pediatric auscultation.
One particular innovation is that the stethoscope carries a large side of the diaphragm and a small side diaphragm. The large side of the diaphragm is for adults and the small side is specially designed for sound with pediatric patients or extremely thin adult patients. This makes it a truly versatile tool for the doctor or nurse or cardiologist.
In addition to the standard adult size
Littman offers a one-inch pediatric bell and the infant bell.
As nurses form the bedrock of the health system and require stethoscopes
they are not left behind. There are active online nursing forum communities where nurses from around the world discuss and share information about the use of medical and nursing tools such as the nursing littmann stethoscope
and there is a nurses' kit including a littman stethoscope for members at special price.
The next time we see a doctor with a stethoscope
the chances are that he is using a littman stethoscope
and we can be grateful to the efforts of the brillant cardiologist Professor David Littmann.
