The stethoscope is an instrument used by medical professionals for auscultation or listening to sounds produced by the body. It is primarily used to listen to the lungs, heart, and intestinal tract, blood flow in peripheral vessels, and the heart sound of developing fetuses in pregnant women. The parts of the stethoscope are a chest piece, diaphragm and/or bell, stem, tubing, headset, ear tubes, and ear tips. The disc and the tube of the stethoscope amplify small sounds such as the sound of a patient's lungs, heart, and other sounds inside the body, making them sound louder. The amplified sounds travel up the stethoscope's tube to the earpieces which helps the doctor to listen through. The chest piece or head of the stethoscope is the central part of the stethoscope and is the most important part of a stethoscope's acoustic performance. This is because it is responsible for detecting, capturing, and transferring sounds from the body to the headset which helps the doctor listen through. High-quality stethoscopes are available at Medikabazaar at best prices from various brands like 3M Littmann, Dr. Morepen, AccuSure, EasyCare, and many others.
