ADC Adscope 641 Convertible Sprague Stethoscope, 5 Chestpiece Options | Convertible, Zinc Chestpiece & Aluminum Alloy Binaural, 30 Inch Length, Satin Mirror Finish, Black

My son is using this in his nursing program. Seems to be working fine and has held up for the past few months.

I am An RN by profession and I've been using the same stethoscope since I was in second year college. I have amid and loved the quality of the stethoscope that I bought for less Thn two dollars and further more I found it to be better than the more expensive brand names. ADC is a pretty good brand S I have done some research on the company, I bought this product cause of the dual tubing style and the pediatric bell and the diaphragm design. When I r evinced it in the mail yesterday I was eager to test out the true quality of this product. I was. Amazed by the clarity I hear upon auscultation the heart and abdomen. I was Ctually able to hear the Kortkoff sound over top of a thick sweater, which previously I was not ale to do on my old steth. Fiaurthermore I found that the product, when compared to a litman sounded much more amplified and much more clearer. Dont get me wrong, i love the litman asmuch as the next doctor, or Nurse,but for eighty bucks I find that a bit pricey. The ADC came with nice softgel tips, It cares a nice seal around my ears to prevent any loss of sound escaping. The Metal seems to be a very good quality metal that I believe that's what gives the nice loud sound. For the price and the fact that this was on amazon prime made it a sweet deal. Eventually I will upgrade to a litman but for the time being I find that this product does really well for the purpose for I need it to do and then some!

I purchased this stethoscope for medical assisting school and externship. It was just the right price. I had trouble in the beginning taking accurate blood pressure readings untii, out of frustration, I decided to just read the instructions that came with the stethoscope and (a bingo moment!) I figured out that I have to angle the ear pieces forward about 15 degrees...Not sure why my instructor didn't point this out to me. I now use it at work and have had no problems with it. I also like that it comes with additional replacement parts, especially the interchangeable soft rubber tips which are more comfortable for my ears. Still happy with this purchase after 6 months.

Love it. Leave it at the scene/on a rig/lose it on the quint, no sweat, it ain't no $100+ Littman. It's a sprague stethoscope, so there could be some noise from the dual tubes banging around, but it's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. The unit also comes with some very nice, very soft earpieces... they make you feel like you're 3yo and stuffing gummy bears in your ears again-- or in my case, 33 and still doing that sort of thing. I usually buy these cheaper units because, well, they're cheaper. I'm a FF/Paramedic, not a cardiologist, so 99% of the time I am using this to take BPs and lung sounds, and they're perfect for that. I usually give these five stars because of the cost:value ratio, but this particular one I got was threaded short on one side-- so if not for the miracle of blue Locktite, the earpiece would unscrew and be lost forever in the depths of our ladder truck. The rest of it is all good though-- comes with extra bells and diaphragms, earpieces, and was perfectly calibrated right outta the box.

Much better than cheap ones. Spend a little extra. I am a firefighter and use these weekly.

I had to have one of these so I could bring my husband home from the hospital. Did a lot of research and found this model to be the best over-all. It did it's job pefectly and since my husband's passing I now use it to monitor my own health as well as the health of my animals. It's a superb instrument and will last many years. I highly recommend this product and the vendor.

I have a kitty with a heart condition. I have to be able to monitor his heart rate to adjust his heart medication dosage. I am not a doctor but I not only can distinctly hear his heartbeat, I can also tell that it sounds distinctly different than that of our other kitties. Great product for a modest price.

This steth will pick up heartbeats and you can listen to lung inhalation/exhalation. However, if you're trying to identify anything other than a dull "thump...thump" then you will not hear it. Cheap price means cheap materials (an o-ring tore when I tried to remove the "removable" diaphragm). As always you get what you pay for.
