I have a lime green one that I got at the start of school and two years later it is still in great shape. I plan to buy an assortment of colors to match my scrubs! After I am hired for a job and get some money to spend!

i've had the same pale green littmann forever. the biggest complaint as far as it getting dirty is that it has some pen marks on it.... if i fold it up in my pocket where my pens are sometimes i get ink on it... but nothing a little alcohol swab can't take care of!

i clean my stethoscope between every pt with alcohol swabs or cavi wipes. it's about to have it's 8th birthday i think and is in great shape.

get the pink one if you want it!
