Purchasing a new chest piece for my stethoscope

Nurses Uniform/Gear

Published

Hello everyone! I will be starting a pediatric job as a GN around July and have been looking around for changing the chest piece on my stethoscope to a pediatric size. I completed my practicum with pediatrics and feel that I should get a smaller chest piece to accommodate to their size. However, I haven't been able to find a single online store to sell just the chest piece. Anyone have any experience with this? Or know where I should look? Thanks so much! (BTW I have a littman classic ii).

I've looked on littmann, amazon, allheart, along with other online medical supply stores. Everything I see is either accessories like ear buds, and rubber pieces or just whole stethoscopes. Not sure where else to look. I have heard before that you can purchase just the chest piece, just don't know why I can't find any!

Just splurge and buy yourself a Littmann pediatric. They are not that expensive and have a lifetime guarantee. Unless you do something to void the warranty like changing out the chest piece.
