Littmann

Satin tubing.

Littmann now makes the Cardiology IV with satin-finish tubing. The chestpiece, the diaphragms and the sound are unchanged. Only the tube is different: a soft, low-sheen coating in place of the usual gloss.

Gloss or satin.

Gloss tubing throws back a sharp reflection. Satin spreads the light out, so the colour reads evenly under a ward light.

What the coating does.

  1. 1Less clingThe coating lowers surface friction, so the tube is less likely to stick to hair, skin or a collar.
  2. 2Easier to keep cleanIt resists stains and debris, and wipes clean between patients.
  3. 3SofterThe tube is more flexible. It drapes around the neck and folds into a pocket more easily.
  4. 4Harder wearingIt stands up to scratches and everyday wear better than standard tubing.

As Littmann describes the finish. The acoustics are the same as the standard tube.

Standard and satin, side by side.

All Littmann Cardiology IV Stethoscopes
The Littmann Cardiology IV with navy blue Satin Finish tubing and a high-polish rainbow chestpiece. Only the tube finish differs from the standard model; the acoustics are the same.
This Littmann Cardiology IV (6242C) sets a high-polish rainbow chestpiece against navy blue Satin Finish tubing, with a black stem and headset. The chestpiece, diaphragms and sound are the same as the standard Cardiology IV. It is built to help you hear hard-to-hear sounds, including aortic stenosis, S3 gallops and faint pulmonary sounds, in critical care and other demanding settings such as the emergency department, ICU, cardiac ICU and step-down unit.

Features

  • Satin Finish tubing: soft to the touch and less likely to stick to hair and clothing
  • Scratch-resistant coating that is easy to clean
  • Flexible tube that folds easily to stow in a pocket
  • Dual-lumen tubing: two sound paths in one tube, so the tubes do not rub together and add noise
  • Dual-sided stainless steel chestpiece with tunable diaphragms on the adult and paediatric sides: light pressure for low-frequency sounds, firmer pressure for high-frequency sounds
  • The paediatric side converts to an open bell, with a non-chill bell sleeve for patient comfort
  • 40% larger chestpiece and 60% deeper bell than the Littmann Classic III
  • Designed for adult and paediatric patients
  • Soft-sealing eartips for comfort and a good acoustic seal
  • Not made with natural rubber latex; made in the USA
  • 7-year Littmann warranty
