  • maximum sound transmission
    Hear the difference

    Each 3M™ Littmann® stethoscope is precision-engineered and built to strict process and quality controls for a consistently high level of performance. Innovative technology features offer enhanced sound acoustics that enable you to pick up even the subtlest sounds.

  • chestpiece of stethoscope
    See the difference

    Stethoscopes with stiff tubing can kink or bend, pulling on eartips and making it hard to use. 3M™ Littmann® stethoscope tubing hangs straight and flexes easily. Also, 3M™ Littmann® chestpieces come in various finishes to suit your personal style.

  • eartips align with your ear
    Feel the difference

    3M™ Littmann® stethoscopes offer enhancements for you and your patients’ comfort: soft-sealing snap-tight eartips fit comfortably inside ears, non-chill bell sleeves insulate steel open bells from skin, and fostering a more meaningful doctor-patient relationship is helped along by stethoscopes that reflect your personality.


Find a combination that’s perfect for you.
