Universal Stethoscope

A stethoscope is a medical instrument for listening to the action of someone’s heart or breathing, typically having a small disc-shaped resonator that is placed against the chest, and two tubes connected to earpieces.

This universal stethoscope is non-sterile, and is latex free. It is black in colour.

Uses:

A stethoscopes primary use is to listen to sounds generated from within the body. One can listen to the heart, lungs and intestinal tract. They are also used for measuring blood pressure. A stethoscope consists of a “head” or chest piece, a tube and a head piece with so-called “ear tips”. These “ear-tips” seal auditory canals of the examiner, enabling them to be able to listen carefully to the sounds within the body.

Application:

Before placing the ear tips in your ears, hold the headset in front of you with the eartubes pointing away.

Once the ear tips are in your ears, they should point forward.

If the fit still isn’t comfortable, grasp each of the eartubes and adjust the headset for a custom fit.

Wearing the headset improperly can result in a poor acoustical seal and in some cases, complete sound blockage.
If you usually carry your stethoscope in a pocket or don’t clean it often, lint or dirt may accumulate and obstruct the sound pathway. To prevent debris from accumulating, give your stethoscope routine cleaning and care.
