Has anyone used any non Littman scopes?
 
Yeah, I use a MDF Sprague stethoscope and like it.
 
just the two dollar junkers on the rig.

own a littmann master classic and a master cardio. love em both
 
I like my ADC 612. Compares favorably to the Littmanns at a fraction of the cost.

DRG is awesome
 
Unless someone can differentiate the difference between apical hollow systolic murmurs, crescendo murmurs and adventitious lung sounds there is really no reason to purchase a high dollar stethoscope. That is just to take a blood pressure.

There are very in EMS that can differentiate auscultatory sounds and tones.

Sense im an EMT-B I didnt spend like 500 bucks on a nice stethescope like some of my paramedic buds, I just bought a littman light wieght ($80). Its just what I needed, and I do recommend if you plan on useing the stethescope alot dont buy one with a college name on it, cause I did and it cost 20 bucks and it fell apart and just didnt work that well, plus it was real heavy. My new one is godly though =].

But yea I was talking to a paramedic in my VFD and he bought a 500 dollar stethescope, but of course he works 3 jobs (Paramedic Fire fighter, Norwich Paramedic, Bristol Paramedic).
 
Costco has the Littman Cardiologist for $165, worth a drive over the border with the exchange:rolleyes:

Do they come in the big plastic boxes so that you can't shoplift it?



Seriously. I use a DRG scope and an ADC knockoff of a Littman Cardiology. I like all my scopes... As was said, I like having a loud stethascope. I usually carry a Master Classic on the squad.. because it has a pretty nameplate :).

HAHAHAHA :D

Sounds like you should clean out your stethescope, seems you have some rodent issues :huh:
 
I currently buy the ADC 612's for our service. They have some superior qualities and they are reasonable for the budget. I have tired of buying the junk you cannot hear anything with but meets the state specs.

i noticed no one uses the prestige medical scope. i love that thing i originally spent 80 dollars on a littman well my kid plays with the litman now i only payed 15 or 20 dollars for the prestige. and its awesome i can take blood pressures with out a problem. i can hear lung sounds just fine and listen to the heart.

so i recommend the prestige medical. oh and its a double tube scope.

I love my cardio III...and my classic II SE in the SAR pack...thats ALLL I will say on the matter. Otherwise just find a scope that works for you!
 
Bought 2 scopes.

Got an ADC 601 model. I like it but have not had a chance to use it yet.

I also got a $26 cardiology scope knock off from All Heart. Very interesting!!! It isn't as flexible as a Littman but much louder than my Littman Select. Ear pieces hurt my ear but not much. Its so cheap!!! If I lose or it should break, who cares!!!
