Mine is a greenish blue Littman (don't know the official color name).

Re: What color is your stethoscope tubing?

I have an orange Littman. I have only seen one other person with an orange one, and we both laughed. My stethoscope always comes back to me - I have a habit of putting it on the rails in the hallway when I have to go into an isolation room, and everyone knows it is mine.

Re: What color is your stethoscope tubing?

Had a pink one that was too heavy.

Have a royal blue Littman, very nice.

Just upgraded to a Littman II and it is bright purple.

But I usually have stethescope covers in tie-dye green, purple, flowers. aqua and camoflage (I'm a veteran).

Re: What color is your stethoscope tubing?

I have an dark orange sprague. a bright orange sprague, an bright orange littman, a royal blue littman, a red littman--I had to order new tubing since true red only comes on peds or infant littmans but I could order replacement red tubing, so I did. I also have a bright green, a pink, a seabreeze, and navy sprague.....YES i know i need help......I also got a sewing machine for Christmas so I have been making covers---I change them each day just as I do my scrubs and I make sure they dont touch the pts if at all possible....to avoid germs....

Re: What color is your stethoscope tubing?

Just curios, does anyone else feel frustrated by the fact that the chest pieces on some are so heavy -compared to the binaurals-and they slip off your neck all the time? I have an older litewt littman in royal blue that looks like the classic littman chestpieces, not the oval new ones and I love it....but I don't like the colors of the new litewt ones since they are all pastel and will show ink etc.....but as for my question DO the new litewt ones slip off your neck too or are the chestpiece and binaurals even in weight????

Re: What color is your stethoscope tubing?

i would LOVE a classic LITTMAN in the PLUM but they only come in the cardiac steths....my favorite is my ORANGE LITTMAN I have had for 3 years....it has my name imprinted on it so even tho everyone knows I have the orange one....my name is on it for safety!
