Here is The Ultimate List of High Quality Stethoscopes Any Nursing Student Can Afford to Buy This 2020

Contrary to popular belief, such as in movies where doctors are portrayed as the ones carrying stethoscopes, nurses need them just as much as doctors do.

A stethoscope is crucial for medical professionals as, without it, they won't be able to make accurate assessments. They are primarily used to monitor and assess the health status of patients. Nursing students, on the other hand, use stethoscopes for auscultation and blood pressure measurement.

In picking a stethoscope, more than coordinating the tubing with your scrub's color, a soon-to-be nurse must know how to assess  other factors, including but not limited to acoustic sensitivity, chest piece suitability, the diaphragms, as well as its noise cancellation capability.

To help make it easier, here is a selection of stethoscope that are available in the market for everyone to choose from:

1. 3M Littmann Lightweight II S.E. Stethoscope (Click the link to check the price)

This is priced at the low to mid-range spectrum for young nursing students who want a well-built Littmann stethoscope, but are maybe running on a tighter budget. The stethoscope offers high  value for money as it comes with the supreme acoustics that we are accustomed to from a Littmann stethoscope.

The product is designed to provide solid acoustic performance with a dual-sided chest piece for observing adult and pediatric sounds, making it the best option that works at optimal efficiency when performing basic assessments on a wide range of patients.

The very best of thevADC stethoscope is the 600 Platinum Cardiology stethoscope, but it requires an equally well-trained ear to appreciate it.

It comes with crisp sounds, which will definitely make for an accurate assessment. The stethoscope scores high in voice amplification thanks to its bi-lumen headset and AFD 'Adjustable Frequency Design' used to detect high and low pressures.

Using patented AFD Technology, it also provides the type of acoustic performance you would get from a bell and diaphragm stethoscope, but from just a one-sided chest piece.

3. Omron Sprague Rappaport Stethoscope (Click the link to check the price)

This 5-in-1 multi-purpose stethoscope comes with three sizes of open bells, two sizes of diaphragms and two pairs of ear-tips. This is quite comfy to wear for extended periods. It also features a latex-free tubing and a chrome-plated chest piece. The best thing about it is it comes in a variety of different colors so you can pick your favorite one.

It features a reinforced dual-leaf spring construction that improves the durability of the binaural while also allowing it to provide effective sound performance. The MDF Acoustica takes it up a notch with its full rotation acoustic valve stem that allows you to identify the active voice channel through the green light.
