Which Littman Stethoscope for GI Med Surg

Nurses Uniform/Gear

Published

Hello I was just wondering which of these littman steths would be good for a GI med surg floor where I will have to listen to everything but probably tons of bowel sounds.

Littman classic 2 = $80

Littman master classic 2 = $100

Cardiology 3 = $170

Master cardiology = $200

Cardiology stc = $190

I really like the master classic 2 and cardiology stc because they both use the single sided head piece instead of having separate bell and diaphragm which I have also heard is better for bowel sounds than the 2 piece head.

Let me know what you all think price isn't an issue but I have listed approximate prices.

Currently I am leaning towards the master classic 2 but am open to opinions.

Agreed. I don't think you need a cardiology unless you're listening to murmurs or have bad hearing.
