FriCARE Dual Head Stethoscope - Stethoscopes for Nurses, Medical Nursing Students, Paramedics/EMT/LVN/VNA Backup Estetoscopio, Smooth Bright Blue Tube, Stainless Steel Chestpiece

I got sick of other nurses stealing my Littmans. Yes LittmanS! I kept replacing them for work (medsurg nurse). I wanted something that if stolen, wouldn’t keep costing money but do the job. I read reviews and thought let me give this a shot. Hey can always return it. You won’t!! Impressive right out of the box. I got the crazy light blue color on purpose. It is a nice construction. The extra included pieces are nice to have. I put the steth around my neck and walked the halls of the hospital. What is that noise I keep hearing? OMG the steth is picking up hall sounds and amplifying them through the ear pieces. I know right? Stinking crazy!! I never experienced that with any of my many Littmans. My issues with the steth are two fold. It is clunky as all get out. I can’t think of a nice way to put it. The bell is so heavy you can use it to knock a would be carjacker out. Then you can use the steth to check his vitals. Don’t hit yourself with it! Number two is the product used for the tubing. Hey it’s great, feels nice and antimicrobial. Ok but when you sling the steth around your neck, it slides off the bell side. It does it in a sneaky way. You never feel it. I have caught the steth falling or about to from my neck. I can’t figure how to solve this problem. You walk in a room, do something for the client and you have to put the steth down or it’s going off the neck. Never fails! That being said GET IT!! Get it!! This steth is heaven sent, I just wish the head wasn’t so clunky. They should make one with a plastic head, but changing the design would probably take from the acoustics. If coworkers steal it? Well at least you know they are giving good care with the steth and we all win!

Love it

Looks and feels ok. Bought it for home use and works fine

I needed a home stethoscope to listen for bowel sounds after I had surgery on my lower intestine. It is long enough that I can use it on myself, which is a great feature. This stethoscope was very inexpensive, but it works like a much more expensive model. It comes with an extra diaphram and an extra set of earpieces, and the stethoscope itself, although lightweight, is very sturdy and looks just like a more expensive model. My home health nurse taught me how to use it, and she was even impressed with it (and she has a $150 stethoscope!) The box it comes in is perfect for storage. I am very pleased with my purchase. It is a great value for money.

Came quickly. Light weight and works great.
