Premium MDF ProCardial ER Cardiology Stethoscope - Dual Head Stainless Steel for Adults & Pediatrics with Convertible Bell - Lifetime Warranty & Free Parts - Ideal for Doctors, Nurses, Medical Students (Gold/Black)

As a physician for over 20 years, I can tell you that this is a great scope.I have always had Littman cardiology scopes. I never wanted to go cheap when it concerns my profession, so I always try to buy the best scope I could find.On a whim, I decide to try the MDF, and I am very impressed. The tubing is much thicker and the use of steel as opposed to aluminum does add some weight, but What’s wrong with something being solid?Simply put, it is easier to hear sounds with this scope. The thickened tubbing and the use of Steel (over Aluminum) amplify sounds more effectively.Some purists might argue that the tone is slightly different, altered. But I believe this is nonsense, because any physician practicing medicine for more than five minutes knows that if you hear any questionable heart sounds on auscultation you’re going to order a 2-D echo. I believe it is much more important to have the amplified sound. It’s a nice solid piece of equipment.For any of you that are ambivalent between this and the Littman, I suggest that you take it vantage of Amazons liberal return policy and try the MDF.You’re going to like what you hearI originally bought the MDF cardiology classic cardiology scope because someone walked off with my very expensive Littmann cardiology scope and the MDF was on sale for very cheap. I absolutely loved it. The sound was much better than my Littmann and the earpieces fit my head much better so it was more comfortable. I split the tubing on that after 4 years. I decided to get the ER MDF because I thought it would be more versatile for working in the ED. This model works just as great as my original and I love that I can convert to a pedi scope whenever I want. I was just going to replace the tubing on my other model, but I decided to splurge on the 22K gold model and I’m glad because it is gorgeous!!!I love this better than Any of the several Littman scopes I’ve had in the past, in terms of quality, acoustics and price!!! Get this scope, you won’t be disappointed.Received my order in 5 days! I can definitely hear much better! The sound is amplified!! However it cost me a little ear pain. This stethoscope is heavier; Maybe the additional weight is something I have to get used to over time. The gold color is a little duller than the online picture shown and tubing is very stiff as of now. Hopefully overtime it loosens up. Overall I am satisfied.This is a quality device at a fair price. Easily as good as the similar Littman.Great!!Have been a life long littman user. Seen an add for the MDF and gave it a try. Excellent sound quality. It's heavier than the littman, but not too much that it's cumbersome. Very pleased, and the gold and black color makes it more distinctive.Superior sound and quality. A little heavy. Still trying to figure out the most comfortable way to wear it without it pulling my scrubs down.Oh my goodness this stetoscope is amazing! It's a must buy I was infact, a bit hesistant in buying this stetoscope because this is my first time and am a nursing student going into clinicals this year and I must say this stetoscope is L I T!The best stethoscope that I've ever had. The sound quality is excellent and the workmanship superb. I use it to examine horses and it is great for this purpose.excellentAs been a ER phyician for 24 years. Good sound quality but too heavy for my needs. It irritates my neck. Tubing is more rigid than Littmman. So I returned it and ordered a Littmman.He elegido esta valoración por cumplir las expectativas esperada del producto.Un buen detalle para regalar a un compañero para su jubilaciónBought it as a present for a relative. Arrived on time, while the L brand has been on back order for a long time
