The latest version of the stethoscope that helps millions of medical professionals achieve their best. The 3M™ Littmann® Classic III™ Stethoscope offers high acoustic sensitivity for exceptional performance, a versatile two-sided chestpiece with tunable diaphragms that let clinicians hear different frequency sounds by simply adjusting the pressure, snap-tight, soft-sealing eartips, and resilient next-generation tubing that retains its shape and flexibility. Ideal for students and medical professionals alike.

3M Littmann® Classic III Stethoscopes are more than twice as loud as the next leading stethoscope, allowing you to more reliably and consistently hear heart sounds at lower frequencies (below 120Hz) like Korotkoff sounds, Mitral Stenosis and S3 and S4 Gallops when compared to other leading stethoscopes. This is based on tests against globally available comparable stethoscopes in an equivalent class using recorded heart sounds with a diaphragm. The Littmann Classic III Stethoscope also weighs less than other stethoscopes, based on published weights of globally-available comparable stethoscopes in an equivalent class.

The 3M™ Littmann® Classic III™ Stethoscope combines high acoustic sensitivity with a versatile, two-sided chestpiece for exceptional performance. Listen to, identify, and diagnose even the most subtle body sounds through the power of tunable diaphragm technology. Simply hold the chestpiece with light pressure to hear low-frequency sounds and increase pressure incrementally to hear higher-frequency sounds. Designed to be resilient, the 3M™ Littmann® Classic III™ Stethoscope is also built to withstand the rigours of healthcare. Made without natural rubber latex, the resilient, next-generation tubing retains its shape and flexibility even after folding tightly into a pocket. Similarly, its materials improve stethoscope lifespan with enhanced resistance to skin oils and alcohol. For everything that healthcare throws at you, turn to the 3M™ Littmann® Classic III™ Stethoscope.
