The 3M™ Littmann® Lightweight II S.E. Stethoscope features tunable diaphragm technology for reliable and clear acoustic performance in this light weight version. The unique shape of the chestpiece also allows easy navigation around blood pressure cuffs and bandages. This stethoscope is a useful diagnostic tool for blood pressure and limited physical assessment in adult patients and its light weight and tunable diaphragm make it an ideal choice for certified nursing assistants, licensed practical nurses, EMT/EMS, licensed vocational nurses, medical assistants and nursing students. 3M Littmann tunable diaphragm technology offers reliable and clear acoustics, versatility and time-saving convenience. Switching between bell and diaphragm modes is as easy as a simple pressure change on the chestpiece. There is no need to remove, index and replace for same-site auscultation. Resilient tubing folds tightly for pocket portability and retains its shape while patented Snap Tight Soft-Sealing Eartips help form an effective acoustic seal. The anatomically correct headset is angled to channel sound and enhance listening comfort while the nonchill rim and diaphragm provide patient comfort. The Lightweight II S.E. is made in the USA. The product and package are latex-free and come with an alternate pair of small eartips and instructions.

Stethoscopes are diagnostic instruments that amplify sounds made by the body from the heart, lungs, abdomen and intestinal tract, or other body sites. A stethoscope is used to detect and study internal systems, such as fetal development, blood flow or blood pressure (BP), and respiration, and sounds, such as cardiac, venous, arterial, pulmonary, and uterine. Stethoscopes typically have Y-shaped rubber tubing that allows sound to travel from the chestpiece to the eartips. An open bell detects low frequency sounds, and a diaphragm detects high frequency sounds. A stethoscope can come as single, double (dual), or triple-head. Binaural stethoscopes ar
