Context

Country: Unknown
State/Province: Unknown
Period: Never Used
Canada: A digital version of the classic Littmann stethoscope used by physicians and nurses throughout Canada. (From Acquisitions Worksheet, see Ref. 1)
Function: Soft covers used on the headset of a stethoscope to provide padding and a seal when inserted into the ear.
Technical: An electronic and digital version of the classic stethoscope first developed by Dr. David Littmann in 1961, this instrument rapidly became popular: it's simple design remains the basis for most stethoscopes used in medical practice today [2016]. It's open chest piece allows the user to better hear low-pitched sounds; firm tubing has a single lumen bore; it is constructed of the shortest practical overall length; has a spring with precise tension to hold the ear tubes apart; and is lightweight and convenient to carry and use. It was made in two models: the doctor's stethoscope and the nurse's stethoscope.” (From Acquisitions Worksheet, see Ref. 1)
