Ultrascopes?

[sgagnard]

Has anyone tried an Ultrascope stethoscope? I'm finishing up my nursing pre-req's and plan on starting nursing school in the spring. I saw the Ultrascope at a job fair (http://www.ultrascopes.com) and was wondering if anyone here has tried one. I was planning on buying a Littmann Cardiology III, but wanted to see what some of you guys had to say about them first?

Thanks,

I have one and I really don't hear any better than with others. I would like to get a cardiac Littman next.

I have an ultrascope and love it! It was worth the $$$

I prefer the cheaper the better, if your not carefull all the time they just seem to walk off on their own

Thanks for the info on stethoscopes "walking away".

I used a basic one sided littman in school, and probably will continue to while starting my first nursing job.

BUT, at the nursing store, I was looking at the ultrascopes. The sales lady put a triple folded sweatshirt material over my chest, and told me to "listen" I listened to my own heartbeat clear as a bell!

I really couldn't believe the clairity even with that much clothes on.

Littman it is,
