Have any of you tried the Ultrascope stethoscope? It claims that you can hear through bulky bandages and has better acoustics than traditional stethoscopes. I read also that it was created by an RN. With that said ofcourse I had to order one to see for myself, but I will not get it for another week due to shipping. So, was it worth the money? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think from looking at the pictures of the two, it is about the same as the ultrascope. And about 1/2 the price. http://www.dixieems.com/productlist.asp?subsub_id=148 bob BTW: The diaphragm came off of mine, so I put it back on with a wrap of coban, did not diminish the sound at all. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asked for a Littman Cardiac at x-mas, but hubby bought me ultrascope. Still wonder how well the Littman works. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is the ultrascope an electronic one??? One of the docs at work has an electronic one, it was ok, but I didn't like the "feel" of it if you know what I mean. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
