ST.
PAUL, Minn., Jan. 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuing its proven leadership
in innovation, the 3M™ Littmann® brand has announced a new
update to its tubing, unveiling the new Satin Finish tubing.
Studies have shown that 3M™ Littmann® Stethoscopes' Cardiology
IV™ and Classic III™ Stethoscopes are more than twice as loud as
the next leading competitor. That allows health care professionals
to more reliably and consistently hear heart sounds at lower
frequencies (below 120Hz) like Korotkoff sounds, Mitral Stenosis
and S3 and S4 Gallops when compared to competitive stethoscopes.
Select models of these outstanding stethoscopes are now available
with a specially-formulated tubing for a softer, silkier more
flexible feel for easier folding and stowing*. It also makes them
easier to clean* with debris- and scratch-resistance to help
preserve the look and life of our stethoscopes.
"For health care professionals, the 3M Littmann brand is globally-recognized for
quality, reliability and innovation, but also style," said
Craig Conti, global portfolio
leader, Littmann Stethoscope, 3M
Health Care Business Group. "Our new Satin Finish tubing is a
natural evolution of our brand. It offers the same performance you
expect from Littmann stethoscope, but now offered in a variety of
on-trend colors with a more comfortable, flexible feel that you can
place in a lab coat pocket and isn't likely to stick to hair or
clothing."
Littmann stethoscopes Satin Finish tubing is available in
the United States now at
Authorized Littmann Dealers and will roll out globally throughout
2024. They are available in four colors: Alabaster,
Marine Blue, Midnight Blue and
Champagne Rose.
