A new stethoscope designed especially for nursing professionals has been launched by global technology company 3M. The Littmann Lightweight II S.E. stethoscope has a unique ovoid double-sided chestpiece for better movement around blood pressure cuffs and body contours, making it ideal for listening to blood pressure, chest, bowel, abdominal, heart, lung and breath sounds.
