Littmann Stethoscopes



Picture of Caribbean Blue Littmann Pediatric Stethoscope

No matter who you are, when you see a sick infant or baby it really does pull at you in ways you can’t even imagine. After all, if the child is an infant, there’s really no way for the baby to communicate with you other than with a cry or a smile.

A smile is the best thing you can see on a child’s face as you know it is happy and things are well, but when a baby is feeling ill and crying, you can’t get to the pediatrician fast enough. If could as Mr. Scott to “beam two to the pediatrician” you would do it, but since that technology is still – and likely will always remain – the province of science fiction, we still have to use more traditional means of getting to the pediatrician’s office, a car, van or SUV.

Once you are there, though, you expect the specialist to have the best equipment available and if your pediatrician uses a 3M Littmann Classic II Pediatric Stethoscope, you know he or she is serious about the business of getting your child well again.

Unless your child is feeling very sick, you can be certain of one thing when he or she is in the examining room, that they will be squirming around and they will be frightened. So, apart from keeping your child calm, it’s up to the doctor to ease the child’s fears and one of those ways is just what you or I would consider a small feature on a stethoscope, the comfort edge. That’s the rubberized edge around the dual bellhousing that keeps the stethoscope from feeling cold; if the doctor just puts it on your child’s back or tummy (most good pediatricians will actually warm the bellhousing with their hands to make sure the cold isn’t a shock to the child).

Then, depending on the size of the patient, your pediatrician will choose a head size with which to listen to your child’s breathing and lungs, as well as blood flow. If your child is still on the small side, the doctor will probably use the one-inch (2.5 cm) side as the target area is pretty small.

If your child is a bit bigger, then the doctor will swing the head around to the larger, 1.31-inch bellhousing (3.3 cm) to listen to the larger lungs, chest and tummy, as well as blood flow.

You can tell if your pediatrician knows their trade if they not only calm your child down, but they make a fun time of it so the child isn’t scared and if, at the same time, the physician is able to diagnose the issue. Sometimes, all it takes is a skilled ear on a stethoscope to determine the problem and find the right medication, while at other times, it may take further testing.

A skilled pediatrician with a 3M Littmann Classic II Pediatric stethoscope, which features the most advanced technology available today, can quickly determine what the patient needs (sometimes it’s just a lollipop and a hug while, at others, it’s a major diagnostic – a skilled professional will know how to handle the situation).

And, while the health care professional usually takes something like the earpieces for granted, 3M Littman uses a patented soft-seal system that is not only easy on the ears but also helps to shield out background noise so that the patient remains the focus, not the kids playing with the blocks in the corner.
