Best Stethoscope for Cardiac Nursing

Nurses Uniform/Gear

Published

Hello, and Good morning to all. I would like some opinions regarding the best stethoscope for cardiac nurses. I've heard that Littman's are great, however, there are so many stethoscopes produced by littman (Master Cardiology, Cardiology STC, Lightweight Classic II, etc), I don't know which one to choose.

Thanks

If price is not a factor, get the Master Cardiology!

Littmann Cardio III is extremely popular, and I believe you can turn the bell into a peds diaphragm which you may find useful.

ADC also makes some nice cardio scopes for a bit less money. I have their 602 model which is high quality and very sensitive (I think). They also make another cardio with a bell-into-peds diaphragm like the Littmann.

Either Littmann or ADC would be a great choice!
