Stethoscopes
Stethoscopes are simple but important medical tools used to listen to the sounds inside the body, especially the heart, lungs, and stomach. Healthcare professionals use them during check-ups or medical procedures to check how well the heart is beating or how the lungs are working.
There are different types of stethoscopes made for doctors, nurses, and students. Some have extra features for better sound, while others are lightweight and good for everyday use. Most stethoscopes come with adjustable tubing and soft ear tips for comfort during long periods of use.
