Stethoscope of choice

Published

Wondering if anyone has a "preference" in stethoscopes.

Also, any experience with a Mabis signature cardiology scope?

I started with a Littman lightweight and couldn't hear didily. I since have moved on to a Cardiology III. I love it. I work in a peds hospital and it works great on everyone from 1 day to 18 years old. The bell doubles as a peds steth so I can differentiate sounds wonderfully.

Specializes in MICU for 4 years, now PICU for 3 years!.

I have to agree with actioncat... I also have a DRG and love it! I love the fact that I change the diaphragm, and that it doesn't have a hard diaphragm. They soft diaphragms go on the outside, and they all are impregnanted with antimicrobial stuff, so if I wanted to, I could replace it in between all my patients!
