Suggestions of New Stethoscope?

Published

Finally starting fulltime in the OR and really need a new stethoscope. Had a littman Cardiology III that just walked off one day. Need to make the purchase in the next day or so need any suggestions you guys have. Not looking for the most expensive one but not cheap one either. Willing to pay a few hundred. Talked to a few and they claimed a bell is impt for bruit ausc ect so the master cardiology is out. Not really sure whats out there and if anesthesia providers tend to lean on one model vs another. Let me know, thanks.

Yes, I have a master classic and I have found it kind of annoying at times when you can't even hear your patients heart sounds or lung sounds while doing clinicals. I wished that I had purchased the Master Cardiology instead. Learned how to use it while in school and gotten comfortable with it, and now I have 4 months till graduation and am having to go and get it now.
