When you're looking for products on our site, often times the amount of choices can be overwhelming. One way to help narrow down is to click on the "sort by popularity" option. This way you can see our top sellers at a glance and the masses don't lie.

One of our top selling stethoscopes continues to be the Littmann 2141 Master Classic II Stethoscope in 27". It comes in a special edition black, just black, burgandy and purple, truly catering to all!

Awesome sound! I had trouble with other stethoscopes, nothing sounded clear, then I tried my fellow EMTs scope which was a Littmann. I now have my own and love it! -Firefighter Z


When you're looking for a professional scope, the Littmann is it. It's a high-performance single-lumen tubing that gives you excellent acoustic performance.

The diaphragm of the Littmann is tunable and can easily and conveniently alternate between the low and high-frequency sounds without having to turn over the chest piece. A single-sided chest piece has more portable convenience that users love.

May is National High Blood Pressure Education Month. According to the CDC, reducing high blood pressure can lower your risk for stroke and heart attack. 

Unfortunately 1 in 3 US adults, which is roughly 67 million people have high blood pressure. High blood pressure makes your heart overly work and then increases your risk of heart disease and stroke. 

High blood pressure can often be silent. You can have high blood pressure and not even know it, which is why it's often referred to as the Silent Killer. This is the month to make sure you get yours checked. To make sure you ask friends and family members if they've had theirs checked. It's easy and painless to have checked.
