3M LittmannCardiology IV Diagnostic Stethoscope, 6151, More Than 2X as Loud, Weighs Less, Stainless Steel Chestpiece, 22" (Shorter Length) Black Tube

You cannot buy a better quality stethoscope, than a Littman. This is the second cardiology stethoscope I’ve bought. The first one lasted me 15 years. The sound quality is fantastic.Very fast delivery, packed extremely well. Great seller. The price is great. Will definitely buy from this seller again. Highly recommend this seller.

I was looking to replace my 22 inch Littmann from the 80's. This was a great upgrade! Love the sound quality. My colleague has the 27 inch Cardiology III Stethoscope and I feel that the sound quality from mine is a tiny bit more clear and crisp. The 22 inch is short though, and can't be hooked around your neck (like the 27 inch can). It is a heavier stethoscope than average and stays in place well, despite being short. Highly recommend; I think it is a great investment.

This is a great stethoscope. The 22" tubing is perfect for proper acoustics. The 27" is mainly for people who want to maintain distance from the patient during the exam or for securing the head of the scope in a coat pocket while wearing the earpieces around the neck, but acoustics will suffer. I like this scope more than my Littman Master Cardiology scope. The diaphragms are versatile and responsive for low and high pitched sounds and the option to convert the bell shaped side to a conventional bell is fantastic for those that prefer it. There are no rubbing tubes to interfere with auscultation and the soft ear tips seal out extraneous noise. In short, the Littman Cardiology IV 22" stethoscope is the most versatile and the most acoustically pure scope yet available from Littman. I highly recommend it.

I ordered a 3M 6151 Littmann Cardiology IV stethoscope for my NP clinical; wanted to upgrade my Littmann Classic III which I have had for the past 14 years.Pros:-Great price-Easy to order and return.-Packaged well protected.- Solid material.-Delivered earlier than promised.Con:-Very short tubing (22)- this is great for some who put in their coat or scrub pants but I don't.-A little heavier if you carry yours around your neck (which I do) but this can be positive b/c of quality.I returned and reordered a longer (27) one. awaiting for delivery.

Too short

Loved the sound quality. A great value and a nice gift for that medical student or nursing school

The description of this item said "22" (Shorter Length) Black Tube", however the entire stethoscope is only 22" long, the black tube itself is actually just 16.5 " in length.Although the stethoscope works, it's really the kind you would give your kid to dress up with on Halloween unless you want to be hunched over every patient you come across and destroy your back. I've used Littman stethoscopes my entire nursing career, and I have never seen one this short, nor do I have any idea what possessed them to produce this.

Worked as described
