Mixy, the want the kind with the double bell. I realize ultrascopes can be adjusted, but not only does it clearly state this, they also drew a picture so I'd really look like a rebel if I showed up with a really cool ultrascope

My school also requires a bell and diaphgram so no ultrascope for me either while in school

But I think that might be a great graduation gift for me

SO GO DARK>>>> REALLY esp if it is expensive, get light colored cheap ones, but not in the expensive ones.

Choose a dark color to disguise neck dirt and grunge? How gross!!!!! The thought makes me shudder....clean your stethoscopes daily with 70% isopropyl alcohol solution And don't use anyone else's stethoscope without cleaning the earpieces with alcohol first...you might catch an earworm LOL

i have a burgundy littman. mine also has an engraved name plate which i would highly recommend. i was able to get mine when i ordered the stethoscope but if you don't have that option you can buy them separately online or in stores

My parents bought me an Ultrascope as a congratulations gift for getting into my program (I made sure to clear it with my advisor first! ) It's got a royal blue with glitter head and navy tubing, with my name engraved in yellow on the head (my school's colors are yellow and blue). It's been shipped, I can't wait to get it!

I have been reading the various stethoscope threads and was wondering if anyone can tell me if you really can hear a BP that much better with a Classic IISE versus a Cardiology III? My school recommends either the Littman Lightweight or Classic II (which I haven't been able to find, just the IISE). Also has anyone ever heard that engraving on the stethoscope be it the tubing or bell can ruin the sound quality?

i have a black master cardiology III that will NEVER see nursing school, that thing is too easy to swipe. For school i got a pink and a navy blue classic II SE, and honestly i hear BP sounds a lot better with my classic, but lung and bowel sounds are FAR more clear and distinct with the cardiology.

Has anyone had any experience with allheart.com engraving scopes AFTER purchase? i'm getting divorced, but it's going to take a while, and i'm not sure which name i'll be using after it's final, so i want to send it back to get engraved after all this mess is over.

Burgundy Littmann Cardiology III. LOVE IT!!!

Also have an Allheart Cardiology that is black. Also works pretty well, considering I spent $25 on it! (this was my clincial scope-it is now my "home" scope...works well when the kids are ill)
