Introducing the brand new Littmann Classic III stethoscope. With the first major upgrade of the iconic Littmann stethoscope in 18 years, the NEW industry standard has arrived!
The Classic III stethoscope brings new design, materials, and technology to the Littmann stethoscope series that’s been used and trusted by millions of medical professionals worldwide for decades. With a two-sided chestpiece, dual tunable diaphragms, improved tubing, and much more, the Classic III stethoscope combines the best of new and traditional.
As with the Cardiology III, full adult and pediatric auscultation is available through its dual head chestpiece simply by rotating the central spline to alternate between the two sides. The more compact one piece diaphragm and rim assemblies have further increased acoustic sensitivity. The binaurals have been redesigned with larger diameter ear tubes and a thicker single lumen binaural to transfer sound more effectively. The selector spline is now recessed to allow a flush fit with the binaural tube and now features a visual indicator for easy identification of the operational diaphragm.
Features
NEW double-sided, dual diaphragm chestpiece for both adult and pediatric assessment.
NEW: The pediatric side is also easily transformed into a traditional open bell by replacing the single-piece diaphragm with the supplied non-chill rim.
NEW chestpiece is precision-machined into an aesthetically pleasing, less angular shape.
NEW single-piece diaphragm instead of separate diaphragm/rim making it easier to attach and easier to clean due to the smooth unbroken surface.
NEW: The stem features an open side indicator to easily identify which diaphragm is in operation.
NEW next-generation tubing gives even longer tube life with improved resistance to skin oils, alcohol and staining.
Littmann’s ‘Tunable Technology’ lets you easily switch from low to high frequency sounds by switching from light to firm pressure on both the adult and pediatric sides of the chestpiece.
High acoustic sensitivity when performing general physical assessment.
Laser engraving of text and symbols to personalise your scope and avoid theft/loss.
Larger ear tubes on the anatomically designed headset comfortably positioned for better sound transfer. Easy adjustment by simply squeezing or pulling apart the eartubes.
Comfortable Snap-Tight soft seal eartips create an excellent acoustic seal to reduce ambient noise.
No natural rubber latex plasticisers are used in the tubing or any other component—to help protect health and the environment.
Complement your personal style with Littmann’s large range of chestpiece finishes and tubing colors.
Used as a diagnostic aid as part of the physical assessment of a patient.
5 year warranty includes free repair on any manufacturing or material defects.
Littmann performance rating of 7 out of 10.
Satin Finish Tubing
Littmann stethoscope’s Satin Finish Tubing formula means that the same performance you’ve come to expect from the Littmann® Cardiology IV™ Stethoscope is now available with a more comfortable, flexible feel that is not likely to stick to hair or clothing.
Littmann stethoscopes’ satin finish also offers a more flexible feel for easier folding and stowing of your stethoscope, so you can keep it with you between patients, and its specially-formulated coating is easy to clean, with debris- and scuff-resistance to help preserve the look and life of your stethoscope.
When compared to uncoated tubing, Satin Finish Tubing is:
Softer with a silkier feel,
More stain-resistant,
Easier to clean, and
Featuring a pliability that makes it easier to put into a lab coat.
Allows you 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 other leading stethoscopes.

Laser Engraving
Medisave offer a laser engraving service on all of our Littmann Stethoscopes (and many other items of diagnostic equipment). Because we recognise the value and quality of your tools we have invested in the highest quality equipment and technicians to give you probably the finest engraving service available in the US (superior to our competitor’s more expensive efforts). The end result is an elegant, permanent, precision mark on the surface of the chestpiece, allowing you to show a little of your personality and, more importantly, deterring thieves and making it easier to retrieve your scope should you misplace it. The service does not delay your order and next day delivery services are available.
HIGH QUALITY | NO DELAY | NEXT DAY DELIVERY
*Based on tests against globally-available comparable stethoscopes in an equivalent class using recorded heart sounds with diaphragm. ** Based on published weights of globally-available comparable stethoscopes in an equivalent class.

I bought this Littmann III in Marine Blue for my best friend who is a pre-nursing student currently; She absolutely loved it! It really encouraged her; she was so excited when she opened it, and even more so when she saw her name and a Bible passage engraved on the dial. It was definitely the perfect gift for her.
Thank you so much! I would highly recommend both the stethoscope, whether as a gift or for oneself; I also had an amazing experience with MediSave! :)
The Littmann Classic III is the gold standard for a reason. The sound quality is crystal clear, and the ear tips are very comfortable. It is durable, reliable, and absolutely perfect for everyday clinical use. Highly recommend it to all medical students and nurses!
My nursing student daughter had this recommended by her aunt who is an ER nurse and her EMT dad. Day 1 her professor said- oh look- you got the best there is to start with! Perfect!
Absolutely perfect! Such a great quality stethoscope and the engraving was beautifully done. Plus it was delivered in under 24 hours! Can’t go wrong, highly highly recommend.
Really pretty and is nice being able to actually hear a lot better than my other stethoscope the MDF one I got this one to myself as a gift for passing my CCMA exam and as an almost premed college student in neuroscience in the fall, I got my name engraved so nobody can take my expensive littmann as I’ve heard many stories of that happening.
It's a game changer. It's my second littman. I upgraded to IV from III, and have no regrets on it. I need it since I'll be transitioning from rehab to acute so I can perform best for my patients😊. Highly recommend it for nurses😍
Been great. Heavy duty but not overwhelming so. Sound quality good enough to clearly hear heart mummers. So BP feels easier now. Very comfortable ear pieces as well.
Ordered Littman Cardiology III with engraving. Order arrived very quick. The engraving is beautiful and very well done, they even engrave different symbols, like hearst, which other places do not offer. Stethoscope itself is perfect, no issues and works amazing.
100% Genuine and beautiful stethoscope! I had previously had another from a big online retailer, and highly recommend using this site instead. Stethoscope came perfect with very nice customization. Will return if I ever need another!
Absolutely love this stethoscope!
The quality is outstanding — crystal clear sound, lightweight, and very comfortable to use during long shifts. The design and color are beautiful and I purchased a sleek protective case that makes it feel even more premium. Definitely worth every penny. Highly recommend for healthcare professionals looking for both style and performance.
Easy to order, arrived in a few days with regular shipping and could have arrived faster with express shipping option! I opted to have the bell engraved and the engraving looks good as well! The stethoscope itself is a Littman Cardiology in the black/plum/rainbow option with polished finish. I can hear well with it! I’ve had a Littman classic since 2009 when I graduated nursing school and chose to upgrade to the cardiology to hear better. It does make a difference. Great customer service!
I am very new at using a stethoscope but I feel now that I am getting the hang of it using this tool for my nursing program at school and I like it. I can twist the knob and simple to use!
Just as described. I was looking for a replacement for my previous Littman that I had for 6+ years due to wear. I LOVE the color and quality of this stethoscope. I splurged and also got it personalized.
I absolutely love my cardiology IV stethoscope! The color is exactly what I expected and I love the engraving. I am able to hear lung and heart sounds clearly! Definitely would purchase again!!
Bought this for my niece upon graduation with her name engraved. It all turned out to be so beautiful and perfect. Exactly what my niece deserves. Thank you for offering the engraving and giving me the case free upon checkout. I look forward to hearing how much she really loves it upon nursing school. Thank you!
