I know you can get them at the University of Toronto bookstore, and I would imagine that any other educational institution with nursing or allied health program would sell them. I understand that U of T has a stethoscope sale in the fall for the medical program where reprepsentatives from the companies come to show their "wares".

Having said all that, I ordered mine from the American ebay and had it shipped to a US relative. But I think (but don't quote me on this) the various online medical stores in the states that sell stethoscopes like: GRX medical, kila labs, allheart, redding medical etc will ship to canada.

Good luck

Hey there, I got mine from Ryerson University bookstore and it was littmann classic II. It cost me about 100 dollars but I've been using it for 3 years now. If you are afraid you can lose it, you can buy the cheaper version for about 30-40 dollars.

Hope this helps

You can generally find littmans online for less than university bookstores. A doctor friend of mine paid $200 for her littman cardiology III which I've seen online for less. If you decide to go with a non littman brand, chances are better that you'll get a good price.

It worked perfectly well for me just now. I clicked on the link in your post and had no problems. Maybe it's your browser?
