3M™ Littmann® Stethoscope Spare Parts Kit for the Classic III™/Cardiology IV Stethoscope contains a black single-piece tunable diaphragm for both the adult and pediatric sides of the chestpiece, in addition to two small (1/2 inch), black Snap Tight Soft-Sealing Eartips.
Tunable diaphragm technology—a 3M invention—lets clinicians hear different frequency sounds by simply adjusting the pressure on the chestpiece. Hold the chestpiece with light pressure to hear low-frequency sounds; press a little more to hear higher-frequency sounds. This time-saving feature allows the healthcare provider to focus on both adult and pediatric patients.
Snap-tight, soft-sealing eartips conform to individual ears for an excellent acoustic seal and comfortable fit. Eartips snap firmly onto the ends of the eartubes and, for safety, require a significant effort to remove.
