Adscope 615 - Platinum Stethoscope - Dark Green

Is a nice stethoscope with great acoustics and doesn't feel cheap or brittle. I recommend it to all medical staff and students. Is just as good as littman stethoscopes and maybe better.

Ich besitze dieses Stethoskop jetzt seit 5 Jahren im Rettungsdienst und bin super zufrieden damit. Die manuelle RR Messung klappt damit genauso gut wie das Abhören von Lunge, Abdomen etc. Durch die Form lässt es sich zudem gut mit den Fingern fixieren und führen. Außerdem lässt es sich gut zusammenrollen und in der Diensthose verstauen. Würd ich jederzeit wiederkaufen.

Good affordable option to the expensive "L"... You know what I mean

Un buon fonendoscopio, ma non il top, risente dei rumori esterni buon rapporto prezzo/qualità

I am an emergency physician. I use my stethoscope every day of my working life. For years I used a 3M Littmann Master Cardiology Stethoscope, Black Plated Chestpiece and Eartubes, Black Tube, 27 inch, 2161 (currently over $200). A year ago I picked up this ADC Adscope 615, and since then this has become the only stethoscope I bring to work. The longer tubing helps avoid bending over and saves my back. The elongated chest piece handles very nicely. Critically for me, it is light around the neck. Much much lighter than the Littman. It's quite possible that a technical acoustic assessment would find differences between the Littman (with it's thicker, shorter tubing, and heavier and more expensive chest piece) and the 615. However, for the scope of my work in the Emergency Department there are no differences which impact my clinical performance whatsoever. Even cardiologists these days rely far more on echocardiograms and do not make definitive diagnoses of murmurs by auscultation alone, so I really wonder if there are any physicians for whom there is an appreciable difference in performance. At under $50, with the longer tubing, the lighter carrying weight around the neck or in the coat pocket, and the excellent acoustics, this is a great choice for any physician, PA, NP, nurse, paramedic, EMT or medical student. The price tag definitely takes the sting out of losing one of these, which happens every few years.

Good stethoscope sound well well made up there in quality like a beginner litman
