About 3M Littmann Classic III Monitoring Stethoscope

Most doctors will be familiar with the Littmann Classic III. If Littmann is the icon of contemporary stethoscopes, the Classic III is the flagship of its middle series.

What’s behind its popularity? Is it by chance that it has accumulated hundreds and hundreds of positive reviews?

Littmann Classic 3 is the stethoscopes’ Ford T. Affordable, long lasting, versatile, reliable and suitable for most medicine professionals. It doesn’t incorporate any sophisticated features. It doesn’t reach great speeds. It simply works, and it works very well.

Therefore, this is an appropriate stethoscope for most general medicine practitioners, nurses and clinical professionals. For other specialties, it’s better idea to go for models within the superior Cardiology series (such as 3M Littmann Cardiology 3, the most affordable in the superior series).

With the Littmann Classic III, you will, in short, be able to listen to any sound you wish: grade I murmurs, S3 and S4 noises, among others. This stethoscope comes with excellent acoustics thanks to the development and the experience Littmann has built up over the several decades they have been manufacturing stethoscopes.

3M Littmann Classic III Features

Very likely, you already know their tunable diaphragms is one of the main innovations in Littmann stethoscopes. It can detect both low and high frequencies by modifying the levels of the pressure that is exerted on the client.

Thanks to this innovation, it’s not necessary to have a stethoscope with one traditional diaphragm on one side (to detect high frequencies) and a bell on the other (to detect low frequencies). Both sides in the Littmann Classic III series can detect both high and low frequencies by changing the pressure that is exerted.

This feature adds versatility to the Littmann Classic III, since it will be as useful with adult as with pediatric clients. Moreover, the smaller diameter side can turn into a traditional open bell, by simply replacing the diaphragm by a non-chill rim (included).
