Ogotex Medical Student Stethoscope - Listen to the Heart, Lungs, Intestines, Blood Vessels

Name; Stethoscope 

Model; Medical Student Stethoscope 

DESCRIPTION;

• A medical instrument for detecting sounds produced in the body that are conveyed to the ears of the listener through rubber tubing connected with a piece placed upon the area to be examined.

A stethoscope is a tried-and-true way for healthcare providers to hear what’s going on inside your body. Parts of a traditional (analogue) stethoscope include a chest piece, simple tubing and tips that go into your provider’s ears. Electronic and digital stethoscopes have advanced technology that allows providers to record and share bodily sounds.

What is the stethoscope used for?

• Healthcare providers use stethoscopes for auscultation.
• This is the medical term for the process of listening to internal body sounds.
• Specifically, providers use stethoscopes to listen to your:

1. Heart
2. Lungs
3. Intestines
4. Blood vessels

Your body is constantly producing sounds as part of its normal functioning — like the “lub-dub” of your heartbeat. But some sounds aren’t normal, and they could point to an issue that needs monitoring or treatment.

For example, a stethoscope allows your provider to hear abnormal:

• Heart sounds, like heart murmurs.
• Lung sounds, like wheezing or stridor.
• Intestinal noises, like grumbling or high-pitched sounds.
• Blood flow through your arteries, like a carotid fruit.
