PARAMED Stethoscope - Classic Dual Head Cardiology for Medical, Clinical and Home Use by Paramed - Suitable for Men Women Nurse Pediatric Infant - 22 inch

Very pleased with this stethoscope! Such great quality for an even better price tag. Being a nurse for 14 years I've used stethoscopes from the basic facility provided isolation stethoscopes all the way to a Littmann stethoscope and this is a great alternative! I could easily auscultate heart, lung and bowel sounds with this scope, no problems with obtaining a blood pressure either. The ear pieces are very comfortable and do not hinder the sound at all. I appreciate the clamp-on ID tag, extra earpieces and spare bell diaphragm too! Another great perk is that I have not had to warm this bell up before placing it on my clients, so far it hasn't seemed to get cold to the touch. Really enjoying this stethoscope for such a great price, will share this with my peers for sure!

For the price, it's a good, basic Stethoscope. I am used to my Littman Master Cardiology, and have used it for more than 10 years. This stethoscope here has decent acoustics, but the ear tips are too ridgid for me. I like 8t that it has two bells, and it's easy to switch from the adult to the pediatric bell. I think it's a good stethoscope for the occasional user, I'll keep it in my car. I wouldn't want to switch to it, I haven't found anything with adequate comfort or acoustics, besides my $200 littman. But, we are comparing apples to rainbows. For $13, it's a good, solid buy. Don't expect $200 quality or acoustics, and you're fine.

Retired nurse who likes to have equipment t on hand! This is an inexpensive yet fairly good quality stethoscope! Works good for taking BP, checking breath sounds. Is adequate for listening to the heart. Good one to have as a back up to a more sensitive model, in a first aid kit!

I put this stethoscope to the test last week on between 75-100 patients for blood pressure, lung sounds, and bowel sounds. This is a quality stethoscope as far as inexpensive scopes go. Definitely better than the sprague rappaport stethoscopes that I've used that are around to same price point. Downsides however are the ear buds. They are not very pliable and I found that they didn't give me a great seal. The chest piece also turned with little movement I found. I'd be in the middle of a blood pressure and have to turn the chestpiece. I will be sticking to my littmann but have left the scope for other employees to use as scopes go missing quite often.

As described

This is like a child’s toy. You can not hear anything with it. I was going to use it for work. It is not good at all very cheaply made

I am impressed by how well this stethoscope works, and can find no defects in the materials or workmanship. I must say, I was more than a little nervous about this purchase, since I have no medical training and have never used a stethoscope before. Some reviews on other models were very bad, but this one had mostly favorable reviews, so I took the chance. It worked out very well – no problems using either the diaphragm end or the bell end. I think it might be a good idea to have some sort of indicator on the diaphragm to show which side is connected to the earpieces – but that's not a big problem since you will know right away if you're not using the side that is connected to the earpieces. But, the product worked exactly as expected, and the quality is good and it appears to be quite durable, so I am very pleased.

I recently purchased a stethoscope for CNA school. Upon looking at Amazon.com I noticed that most stethoscopes were a cheap $5 or an expensive $80 or more. I decided to go with something on the cheaper side and I can say that I am happy with my purchase! The instructions for how to use the after opening the package I could tell I had gotten a good quality stethoscope for a great price that will serve me well. I was glad it came with instructions on how to switch between the larger/adult bell and the smaller/pediatric bell. I would definitely recommend this product.
