3M Littmann Master Cardiology Stethoscope, 2176, Stainless Steel Smoke-Finish Chestpiece, 27" Black Tube

Excellent. Works as needed to hear breath sounds post-intubation. Easy to hear wheezing. I don’t use it much for heart sounds, so not much I can say about that

Wife loves

I am a Critical Care Paramedic. This is the flagship stethoscope. The master chestpiece is incomparable.

I have used several different brands of stethoscopes. Littmann stethoscopes are a good product but the cardiology stethoscope allows you to listen to fine sounds. It is a heavier stethoscope compared to some of the others. I feel it was money well spent especially since I was lucky enough to get it during the Black Friday Deals.

Very simple and handy. Clearly hear cardiac murmurs and then easy switch to hear crackles and wheezes on chest.Black on black is a very stylish look to add to the quality .Love it

I thought I had lost my last one which was the same as this. I had to borrow a colleagues cheap stethoscope and it was awful. Then my new littman arrived and I felt whole again. I felt naked without it. I love this stethoscope and now I have two bc I found my first one :) sale price was good too. I have the all black one and the blue one. They are both beautiful.

I used an entry-level stethoscope for over 10 years since graduating from nursing school. After it finally gave out from all the frequent use, I decided to upgrade to the 3M Littmann Master Cardiology Stethoscope—and I’m so glad I did! The difference is amazing. If you know what to listen for, you can hear everything from heartbeats and valve closures (like mitral, tricuspid, aortic, and pulmonary) to the swishing sound of heart murmurs, lung sounds like wheezing, pleural rubs, crackles, and even abdominal gurgling. Auscultation is such a valuable tool in patient care, and this stethoscope really makes a difference! Highly recommend it.

I love this stethoscope. It functions perfectly. This is my first time having the steel black finish, and within three nursing shifts with minimum wear, the black finish has started to chip off the chest piece. Not impressed with the quality of the finish.
