Its lightweight design (118g) ensures comfort for healthcare professionals who wear it throughout long shifts, a significant advantage over heavier, less ergonomic local alternatives. The tunable diaphragm and dual-sided chestpiece offer versatility for various auscultation needs, from blood pressure readings to general physical assessments. This USA-sourced instrument provides consistent quality and reliable performance, backed by 3M's reputation for medical devices. **Ideal for Nurses & Students, Consider Alternatives If...** — This stethoscope is excellent for LPNs, LVNs, CNAs, and nursing students due to its lightweight design and ease of use. It's also suitable for general practitioners needing a reliable secondary stethoscope. However, if you require highly specialized acoustic sensitivity for advanced cardiology or neonatology, consider Littmann's higher-end Cardiology or Master series models. Those needing electronic amplification for very faint sounds should explore digital stethoscopes. ## How to use 1. Ensure the eartips are comfortably seated in your ears, angled slightly forward. Adjust headset tension by pulling eartubes apart or squeezing together for a secure, comfortable fit. — Prepare the Stethoscope 2. Use the larger, tunable diaphragm side for high-frequency sounds (normal heart sounds, lung sounds) by applying light pressure. Use the smaller bell side for low-frequency sounds (some heart murmurs, bruits) by applying light pressure. — Select Chestpiece Side 3. Place the appropriate side of the chestpiece firmly on the patient's skin. Listen carefully to the sounds transmitted through the tubing and eartips. Clean eartips and chestpiece after each use. — Auscultate and Listen ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Recommended Use | Blood pressure readings, limited physical assessments | | Target User | LPNs, LVNs, CNAs, Nursing Students, General Practitioners | | Acoustic Seal | Excellent | | Cost per use | 118 g tube at 1 g/day = 118 days: ₹63.03 per day | | Shelf life after opening | N/A (Durable Product) | | Reapplication math | N/A (Durable Product) | | Contraindications | Not suitable for advanced cardiology or neonatology; not an electronic stethoscope. | | Allergens / common irritants | Latex-free, Phthalate-free | | Brand | 3M Littmann | | Model | Lightweight II S.E. | | Part Number | 2456 | | Color | Pearl Pink Tube | | Tube Length | 28 inches (71 cm) | | Weight | 118 g (4.16 oz) | | Chestpiece Material | Metal, Resin Composite | | Diaphragm Type | Tunable, Floating | | Bell Type | Traditional, 3/4 inch | | Eartip Type | Soft-Sealing | | Tubing Material | Latex-free, Phthalate-free | | Country of Origin | Made in USA | ## Frequently asked questions ### Is this Littmann stethoscope suitable for a medical student or a practising doctor?
