The 3M™ Littmann® Lightweight II S.E. Stethoscope is an excellent choice for those entering the healthcare profession, offering a combination of versatility, reliability, and comfort. Weighing in at only 118 grams, it is the lightest of all Littmann adult stethoscopes, making it particularly comfortable for caregivers who wear their stethoscopes throughout long shifts.
This stethoscope features a dual-sided chestpiece that allows for both a tunable diaphragm and an open bell, enhancing its versatility. The innovative tunable diaphragm technology, developed by 3M, enables clinicians to easily switch between high and low frequency sounds simply by adjusting the pressure applied to the chestpiece—light pressure for low frequencies and firmer pressure for higher frequencies. This efficient design allows healthcare providers to focus on patient assessment while ensuring patient comfort through the non-chill diaphragm and rim.
The teardrop-shaped chestpiece facilitates easier positioning under blood pressure cuffs and around bandages, optimizing auscultation in various clinical scenarios. Additionally, the headset tension can be easily adjusted for a comfortable fit by squeezing or pulling apart the eartubes, ensuring optimal alignment with the ear canals.
Constructed with resilient next-generation tubing, the Lightweight II S.E. Stethoscope retains its shape and flexibility, even after being folded tightly into a pocket. This tubing is not made with natural rubber latex, offering a safer option for sensitive medical professionals and patients alike. To further promote health and environmental protection, the tubing is free from phthalate plasticizers
The stethoscope comes complete with large soft-sealing eartips, which provide an excellent acoustic seal and comfortable fit, and requires significant effort to remove for added safety. Proudly made in the USA, the 3M™ Littmann® Lightweight II S.E. Stethoscope is a reliable diagnostic aid for physical assessments and is ideally suited for certified nursing assistants, licensed practical nurses, EMT/EMS professionals, medical assistants, and nursing students.
