What to Consider When Choosing a Stethoscope

The stethoscope is an essential tool for many members of the professional medical field. Above all else, health care specialists require durable stethoscopes with high quality acoustics. But what makes one of these medical devices better than any other?
Versatility
Stethoscopes are multipurpose instruments. To properly treat patients, medical professionals must be able to hear both high and low pitched noises in the patient’s body. Adjustable frequency designs allow for a greater range of sounds to be heard.
