ADC 641BK Adscope Model 641 Sprague Stethoscope with 5 Interchangeable Chestpiece Options, Black

I am An RN by profession and I've been using the same stethoscope since I was in second year college. I have amid and loved the quality of the stethoscope that I bought for less Thn two dollars and further more I found it to be better than the more expensive brand names. ADC is a pretty good brand S I have done some research on the company, I bought this product cause of the dual tubing style and the pediatric bell and the diaphragm design. When I r evinced it in the mail yesterday I was eager to test out the true quality of this product. I was. Amazed by the clarity I hear upon auscultation the heart and abdomen. I was Ctually able to hear the Kortkoff sound over top of a thick sweater, which previously I was not ale to do on my old steth. Fiaurthermore I found that the product, when compared to a litman sounded much more amplified and much more clearer. Dont get me wrong, i love the litman asmuch as the next doctor, or Nurse,but for eighty bucks I find that a bit pricey.The ADC came with nice softgel tips, It cares a nice seal around my ears to prevent any loss of sound escaping. The Metal seems to be a very good quality metal that I believe that's what gives the nice loud sound. For the price and the fact that this was on amazon prime made it a sweet deal. Eventually I will upgrade to a litman but for the time being I find that this product does really well for the purpose for I need it to do and then some!

Love it. Leave it at the scene/on a rig/lose it on the quint, no sweat, it ain't no $100+ Littman. It's a sprague stethoscope, so there could be some noise from the dual tubes banging around, but it's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. The unit also comes with some very nice, very soft earpieces... they make you feel like you're 3yo and stuffing gummy bears in your ears again-- or in my case, 33 and still doing that sort of thing. I usually buy these cheaper units because, well, they're cheaper. I'm a FF/Paramedic, not a cardiologist, so 99% of the time I am using this to take BPs and lung sounds, and they're perfect for that.I usually give these five stars because of the cost:value ratio, but this particular one I got was threaded short on one side-- so if not for the miracle of blue Locktite, the earpiece would unscrew and be lost forever in the depths of our ladder truck. The rest of it is all good though-- comes with extra bells and diaphragms, earpieces, and was perfectly calibrated right outta the box.

I purchased this stethoscope for medical assisting school and externship. It was just the right price. I had trouble in the beginning taking accurate blood pressure readings untii, out of frustration, I decided to just read the instructions that came with the stethoscope and (a bingo moment!) I figured out that I have to angle the ear pieces forward about 15 degrees...Not sure why my instructor didn't point this out to me. I now use it at work and have had no problems with it. I also like that it comes with additional replacement parts, especially the interchangeable soft rubber tips which are more comfortable for my ears. Still happy with this purchase after 6 months.

This steth will pick up heartbeats and you can listen to lung inhalation/exhalation. However, if you're trying to identify anything other than a dull "thump...thump" then you will not hear it. Cheap price means cheap materials (an o-ring tore when I tried to remove the "removable" diaphragm). As always you get what you pay for.

I had to have one of these so I could bring my husband home from the hospital. Did a lot of research and found this model to be the best over-all. It did it's job pefectly and since my husband's passing I now use it to monitor my own health as well as the health of my animals. It's a superb instrument and will last many years. I highly recommend this product and the vendor.

I purchased these because they were very affordable and I thought all stethoscopes should work the same. However, I quickly learned that not only are these very uncomfortable on your ears (feeling like someone was jamming something in there), I can barely hear anything. Trust me, my hearing is VERY good too. So I returned these and purchased a Littman stethoscope (ones that cardiologists use) and am very happy with the comfort and performance. I did pay a fortune for the Littman's but at least I can hear the heartbeat.

This works as intended, you can flip the head to use it different ways. The quality is good, and for the price of this scope you can't beat it. We actually use this in our animal rescue facility (mainly dogs), not on humans, but we did try it on people as a test, and it works the same.

I am starting to have problems with hearing with my right ear. Stethoscopes we use on the squad became an issue getting BP and listening to airway and lung sounds. This is a good buy for $15 or less. My only issue is the ear piece and the top and bottom of the scope are all threaded and screw on and off. Well i found this out the hard way because i lost one of the ear pieces. easy fix, a little bit of loctite. I will be buying another here in the near future.
