3M Littmann CORE Digital Stethoscope, Black, 8480 (2025)

Product Description

Take listening to a whole new level

The outstanding acoustics of 3M™ Littmann® CORE Digital Stethoscopes can help you assess patients and make decisions confidently—even with hard-to-hear sounds such as gallop rhythms, murmurs, and rubs. Designed to provide excellent sound quality, these stethoscopes feature tunable diaphragm technology so you can hear low- and high-frequency sounds without repositioning or turning over the chest piece. The dual-lumen tubing eliminates the rubbing noise of traditional double tubes, and the adjustable headsets and snap-tight soft-sealing ear tips ensure an excellent acoustic seal and comfortable fit.

Take learning to a whole new level with the 3M™ Littmann® CORE Digital Stethoscope. It connects to Eko software, allowing you to visualize heart sound waveforms in real time. Some features may require a subscription to the Eko+ app.

Tunable diaphragm technology—a 3M invention—lets you hear different frequency sounds by simply adjusting the pressure on the chest piece. Hold the chest piece with light pressure on the patient to hear low frequency sounds; press a little more to hear higher frequency sounds. Soft-sealing ear tips conform to individual ears for optimal comfort and excellent sound occlusion.
